Termite Protection & Pest Control

Around Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can wreak a significant level of property damage every year. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of Menai are advised to find quality termite protection services.

Termite Removal

Termite treatments change regarding their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are two main termite management strategies; trying to eliminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to make a barrier in between the termites and the structure being protected. Call us today for additional information on the price of termite protections.

In Menai, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ advantages that shouldn’t be ignored.

It is wise to first have a specialist termite exterminator come out to the house to fully look at the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites will recognise the gaps and can sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Since the termites can’t identify these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole colony may be eliminated even when the location of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly installed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the home design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather
