Treatment For Termite Infestation

Termite or white ant infestations are quite common in Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many residences in Oyster Bay each year. That’s why termite prevention and treatment is essential.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at each briefly. There are two main management strategies carried out for termite control: first is the complete eradication of the colony through baiting, and next is using chemical treatments to create a barrier between the house and the colony. Call us today for more information about the costs involved with the various treatment options.

Chemical treatments are the more standard treatment to eliminate white ants in Oyster Bay homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct advantages which cannot be forgotten.

It’s wise to first get a specialist termite exterminator visit the home to fully assess the damage.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection for treated areas. However, if not all locations are treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can identify those gaps and get access through them once again.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and so they do not avoid the chemical. Because of this, termites will pass over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual termites will pass the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because the termites don’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

The often common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

The entire colony may be exterminated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a building can make it challenging to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for kids and pets
• Environmentally friendly
