Termite Removal & Treatment

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create untold levels of damage to properties across Heathcote on a yearly basis, creating a large need for termite removal.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

You will find several kinds of termite situations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they will likely to apply one of two general termite removal processes. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

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

It is important to engage the services of an experienced white ant exterminator to check over your home so that the damage can be fully assessed.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some places can’t be treated because of access problems, then termites may detect the breaks and gain ingress via them.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites will often transfer these chemicals on to other members in the colony, providing a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the potential of termite access via untreated gaps is far lower.

The most common used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the timber they have been eating until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

An entire colony can be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of if the position 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 observed white ant activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are typically placed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the building design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe for the kids and pets
• Eco-friendly
