Control & Pest Control Against Termites

White ant or termite infestations are rather common within Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in Canterbury Inner West each year. That is why termite control and pest control is essential.

Termite Removal

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at each briefly. There’s two main strategies carried out for termite pest control: one is the total eradication of the colony with baiting, and second is using chemical treatment to create a barrier between the residence and the termites. Call us today for additional information about the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Termite control in Canterbury residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys can have some definate advantages that can not be ignored.

It’s important to first get a professional white ant exterminator visit the home to fully assess the situation.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor some locations can’t be treated as a result of access issues, the white ants can detect the breaks and gain ingress via those areas.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and they will not steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, white ants will pass through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual insects will pass the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites do not identify non repellents, they won’t recognise untreated and treated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is reduced.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to get rid of termites from the structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a flow on result.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are typically situated around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the dwelling design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

How Destructive Can Termites Be?

If left untreated, even a single colony of white ants can do an unexpected amount of damage. The house can even become unsafe as a result of the severity of the problem, and in extreme cases, can be unrepairable.
