Termite Prevention & Pest Control

In Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can cause a significant level of property damage annually. Due to their great capacity for destruction, residents of Caringbah South are encouraged to seek quality termite prevention services.

Termite Control/Protection Systems

Termite treatments change with regards to their aims and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are two main termite management strategies; trying to eradicate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments which try to create a barrier between the termites and the structure to be protected.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and they do not avoid the treated areas. Because of this, termites will pass through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual insects pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The regularly common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to get rid of termites from the dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, causing a compounding result.

The entire colony may be exterminated in this manner, regardless of whether the location 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 activity.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the house design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.

Baiting System Benefits

• Unimpacted by weather
• No danger to kids & pets
