Termite Removal & Protection

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge quantities of damage to properties throughout Miranda Sutherland annually, creating a strong need for termite removal.

Managing & Removing Termites

You can find different types of termite infestations and hence the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the professionals, they are likely to apply one of two general termite protection systems. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical remedies are a more standard treatment to eliminate termites in Miranda homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct benefits which should not be forgotten.

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

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection around treated places. However, if the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can sense the gaps and again access the building.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is a commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites will transfer these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since termites don’t identify non repellents, they don’t recognise treated and untreated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is restricted.

The most used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire nest can be eliminated even though the location of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another place.

In Ground Systems can 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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
