Treatment For Termite Infestation

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight in Australia. When they infest a residence, termites can rapidly create a great deal of damage, making it vital to call your reliable Campbelltown Elderslie termite pest control provider.

Termite Control & Protection

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. There are two strategies used are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eradicating the termite colony entirely by baiting.

Generally, in Elderslie, termite specialists will use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has specific advantages and should also be considered.

It is wise to first have a professional white ant exterminator come out to the house to fully assess the damage.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor some places cannot be treated as a result of access issues, the termites will detect the breaks and gain access via them.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a residence by positioning bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable 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.

What Destruction Can Termites Do?

When left untreated, even just one colony of white ants are capable of doing an unexpected amount of destruction. The structure may even become unusable as a result of the severity of the infestation, and in extreme cases, can be unrepairable.
