Bonnet Bay Sutherland

Termite Control & Prevention

Around Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a massive amount of property damage annually. Because of the great capacity for destruction, residents of Bonnet Bay Sutherland are advised to seek quality termite control services.

Removing & Managing Termites

Each situation is unique, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies used are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and getting rid of the termite colony entirely by baiting. To learn more about what these treatments cost, give us a call today.

White ant control in Bonnet Bay homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, baiting and interception to eradicate the termite colonys can bring some distinct advantages that should not be ignored.

It’s wise to first get a professional termite exterminator visit the house to assess the damage.

If you feel that your residence or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Phone us to get the help of the best termite control team covering the Bonnet Bay area. We will help you to make an informed decision on this vital service, and offer you a very competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided, so they provide good protection in treated locations. However, if not all areas can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and get access through them.

The regularly frequently applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after contact with them. Additionally, termites can transfer these chemicals to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The often common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a flow on effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, however they’re frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.
