Solution For Termite Infestation

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Kirrawee Sutherland each year, making termite inspection so essential.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

Termite treatments alter in terms of their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two major termite management strategies; trying to exterminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that try to create a barrier in between the termites and the structure to be protected. Phone us today to learn more about the cost of termite inspections.

Typically, in Kirrawee, termite experts will make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred type management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some specific advantages and should also be considered.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated places are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can identify the breaks and once again access the property.

The often commonly applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and they do not avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, termites move over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual insects transfer the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The regularly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire nest can be eliminated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
