Prevention & Pest Control Against Termites

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in Como annually, making termite prevention so important.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at each quickly. There are two main management strategies conducted for termite pest control: one is the total eradication of the colony with baiting, and second is with chemical treatments to make a barrier between the home and the termites. Call us today for additional information about the costs associated with various treatment options.

Chemical treatments are a more traditional treatment to eliminate termites in Como homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has distinct advantages which should not be ignored.

It is vital to have the termite situation examined by a professional bug exterminator to assess the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants will recognise these gaps and can potentially gain access.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites can transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Since termites do not identify non repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and thus access through possible gaps is limited.

The frequently used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to eight years following application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the structures that they were eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole nest can be eliminated even when the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
