Pest Control & Extermination Against Termites

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge levels of damage to houses in Yowie Bay Sutherland annually, creating a large need for termite pest control.

Removing & Managing Termites

You can find various types of termite infestations and so the best treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite removal processes. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical remedies are the more standard treatment to get rid of termites in Yowie Bay homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct benefits which cannot be ignored.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can sense the gaps and once again access the property.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as 5 years and is a commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the chance of termite access via non-treated gaps is much lower.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a compounding effect.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the location of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in positions where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are typically placed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the building design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
