Termite Protection Jannali

White ant or termite infestations are rather common in Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Jannali Sutherland annually. That is why termite protection and pest control is so important.

Removing & Managing Termites

You can find various kinds of termite infestations and hence the best treatments also vary. When you call in the specialists, they will likely to apply one of two general termite management processes. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

In Jannali, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ benefits that shouldn’t be ignored.

It is advantageous to engage the services of an experienced pest exterminator to check over your residence so the damage can be thoroughly reviewed.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated places are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can sense the breaks and again access the home.

The often widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and so they do not avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will go over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual termites pass the chemical onto other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites cannot identify non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood that they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

In this manner, the whole colony may be eliminated even when the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate place.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, but they’re frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.

What Destruction Can Termites Cause?
