Termite Prevention Caringbah

White ant or termite infestations are rather frequent within Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in Caringbah Sutherland annually. That’s why termite prevention and control is so important.

Termite Removal/Prevention Processes

Termite treatments alter in terms of their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are 2 main termite management strategies; attempting 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. Phone us today to learn more about the cost of termite preventions.

Chemical remedies are the more standard strategy to eliminate white ants in Caringbah homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct benefits which cannot be forgotten.

To make sure the job is carried out correctly, it is crucial to have a specialist pest exterminator in to review the situation.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can detect these gaps and again access the property.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after contact with them. Additionally, termites can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Since termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is significantly less likely.

The most frequently used non repellent option is Fipronilthat features a residual life of as many as eight years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your structure by placing bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they were attacking. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

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

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

If left untreated, even a single colony of white ants can do an unexpected amount of destruction. The structure may even become unsafe because of the severity of the infestation, and in the extreme, can even be irreparable.
