Termite Control Como

In Australia it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Como each year, making termite control so vital.

Termite Removal

You can find various types of termite infestations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the pros, they are likely to apply one of two general termite prevention systems. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Generally, in Como, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred type management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has specific advantages and should also be considered.

It is vital to bring in a professional termite exterminator to check out your property and assess the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some areas can’t be treated due to access problems, the termites will detect those breaks and gain ingress via them.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because the termites can’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain access via possible breaks.

The common used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your structure by positioning bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they were attacking. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this way, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically placed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the home design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Baiting System Benefits

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Unimpacted by weather
• Safe for use around children and pets
• An environmentally smart solution
