Termite Treatment & Removal

Around Australia, termites are frequently referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can wreak a significant amount of property damage each year. Because of the great capacity for destruction, residents of Smithfield are advised to seek reliable termite treatment services.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let us take a look at them briefly. There’s two main management strategies conducted for termite pest control: first is the total eradication of the colony with baiting, and the other is with chemical treatments to create a barrier between the residence and the termites. Contact us today for additional information on the costs involved with various treatment options.

Chemical treatments are a more traditional treatment to kill termites in Smithfield homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct advantages that should not be forgotten.

To ensure the job is carried out correctly, it’s advised to get a specialist pest exterminator in to review the situation.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can sense the gaps and once again access the property.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to 5 years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and so they do not steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, termites move through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites will transfer the chemical onto other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

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

A widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to get rid of termites from your structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, causing a flow on result.

In this fashion, the colony may be eliminated even though the location of the colony is unknown. 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.

In Ground Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not influenced by weather conditions
• Safe for youngsters and pets
