Extermination & Control Against Termites

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create untold quantities of damage to houses across Caringbah Sutherland each year, creating a strong need for termite extermination.

Termite Removal/Prevention Systems

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at each briefly. There are two main strategies carried out for termite pest control: one is the complete eradication of the colony via baiting, and the other is using chemical treatment to create a barrier between the residence and the termites. Contact us today for additional information on the costs associated with various treatment options.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided. So they provide excellent protection for treated areas. If not all locations can be reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access through them.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

Since termites can not identify non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is significantly reduced.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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 rather than 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 will be eliminated, even when 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.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
