Termite Prevention St Peters

Around Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a massive level of property damage each year. Because of the great capacity for destruction, residents of St Peters are encouraged to find quality termite prevention services.

Managing & Removing Termites

Termite treatments alter with regards to their aims and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are two main termite management strategies; trying to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to make a barrier between the termites and the building being protected.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated places are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can identify these gaps and once again access the home.

The most frequently used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they will not avoid the chemical. Because of this, white ants will pass over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual termites will pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites can’t identify non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is a lot reduced.

The often common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a home by placing bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they were attacking. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in places where there is termite activity.

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

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection system
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• No danger to kids or pets
• Environmentally friendly

• Winged termites (alates) can be seen flying around the nest
