Termite Pest Control Grasmere

Termite or white ant infestations are quite common in Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many residences in Grasmere Campbelltown each year. That is why termite pest control and prevention is extremely important.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are commonly employed for termite management in Grasmere; either the production of a white ant barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Call us today for more details on the price for termite treatment and management.

Chemical remedies are a more standard treatment to kill termites in Grasmere homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has distinct advantages which cannot be ignored.

It’s important to call in an experienced termite exterminator to visit your premises and assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection on treated locations. However, if the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and again access the house.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

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

Since termites do not identify non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is reduced.

The common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to eliminate termites from the house, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a flow on result.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is not known.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the house design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

How Problematic Are Termites?
