Termite Prevention Breakfast Point

In Australia, termites are often referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can cause a massive level of property damage annually. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of Breakfast Point Inner West are advised to seek quality termite prevention services.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

You will find different kinds of termite infestations so the best treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite management processes. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

White ant prevention in Breakfast Point homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, interception and baiting to eradicate the termite colonys may have some distinct advantages that cannot be ignored.

It is highly recommended to engage the services of a professional white ant exterminator to check over your residence so the damage can be thoroughly reviewed.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided, they provide great protection in treated locations. However, if not all areas can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and gain access through them.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after contact with them. In addition, termites can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites do not identify non repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

The frequently used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat has a residual life of as many as eight years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is frequently used to eliminate termites from your dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the structure. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a flow on result.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be erradicated, even though 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.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

How Destructive Can Termites Be?

When left untreated, even just one colony of white ants can do a surprising amount of damage. The structure can even become unlivable because of the severity of the issue, and in the extreme, may even be unrepairable.
