Extermination & Inspection Against Termites

Termite or white ant infestations are rather frequent in Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in Kirrawee Sutherland annually. That’s why termite extermination and treatment is extremely important.

Termite Removal & Prevention

There are several types of termite situations and so the best treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite management processes. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical remedies are a more typical treatment to eliminate termites in Kirrawee homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct benefits that cannot be forgotten.

It’s vital to get in a specialist termite exterminator to check out your property and evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection around treated areas. However, if the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can identify the gaps and again access the building.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites can not detect non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is much reduced.

The common used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to eliminate termites from your dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, creating a compounding effect.

The entire colony can be destroyed in this way, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

What Damage Can Termites Do?
