Removal & Protection Against Termites

Around Australia, termites are frequently called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can wreak a significant level of property damage every year. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of Castlereagh are advised to seek quality termite removal services.

Termite Removal/Prevention Systems

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at each quickly. There are two main strategies conducted for termite control: first is the complete eradication of the colony via baiting, and second is using chemical treatments to make a barrier between the building and the white ants. Contact us today for more information about the costs involved with the various treatment options.

Typically, in Castlereagh, termite specialists use a chemical treatment as the preferred type management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some distinct benefits and should also be considered.

It is essential to have your white ant situation examined by a professional pest controller to assess the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can identify these gaps and again access the property.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they won’t avoid the chemical. Because of this, white ants pass through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Since termites don’t identify non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is reduced.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the home by placing bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

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 especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
