Termite Pest Control St Peters

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold amounts of damage to homes throughout St Peters Inner West each year, creating a large need for termite pest control.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at each briefly. There are two main strategies conducted for termite control: first is the total eradication of the colony via baiting, and the other is using chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the house and the white ants. Call us today for additional information on the costs involved with the various treatment options.

Chemical remedies are a more typical strategy to eliminate termites in St Peters homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct benefits which should not be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain entry.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

In this manner, the entire nest may be eliminated even when the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, but they are generally installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
