Prevention & Removal Against Termites

Termite or white ant infestations are quite frequent within Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in Concord West each year. That is why termite prevention and removal is so important.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

You will find various types of termite infestations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they are going to apply one of two general termite protection systems. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Generally, in Concord West, termite specialists will use a chemical treatment as the preferred form control strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some distinct benefits and should be considered.

It is of great importance to engage the services of an expert white ant exterminator to check out your property so that the damage can be fully reviewed.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a gap in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify these gaps and gain access.

The most commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because the termites can’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

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

In this way, the entire termite nest can 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 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 particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Unimpacted by weather
• Safe for the kids and pets
• Ecologically Smart

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Do?

When left untreated, even just one nest of white ants are capable of doing a surprising amount of damage. The building can even become unlivable as a result of the severity of the issue, and in extreme cases, may be irreparable.
