Control & Extermination Against Termites

Around Australia, termites are frequently called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a massive level of property damage annually. Due to their great capacity for destruction, residents of Jannali Sutherland are advised to seek quality termite control services.

Termite Removal & Management

There are several treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are generally used for termite management in Jannali; either the production of a termite barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for more information about the cost for termite management and treatment.

For the most part, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in Jannali. However, there are several benefits to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It is vital to bring in a professional termite exterminator to visit your home and assess the damage.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants can recognise the gaps and can potentially get in.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most often used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of as many as eight years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are more commonly installed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the residence design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Can Termites Badly Damage My Property?

When left untreated, even a single nest of termites are capable of doing a surprising amount of destruction. The dwelling may even become unlivable due to the severity of the problem, and in extreme cases, may even be irreparable.
