Termite Removal
Glen Alpine Campbelltown

Solution For Termite Infestation

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge levels of damage to buildings across Glen Alpine Campbelltown every year, creating a strong requirement for termite removal.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are different kinds of termite infestations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite protection strategies. This can 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.

Typically, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for white ant treatment in Glen Alpine. However, there are distinct advantages to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It’s important to first get a professional termite exterminator come out to the house to assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide excellent protection in treated locations. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can recognise those gaps and get access through them.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated areas, the potential of termite ingress via untreated gaps is far lower.

The most common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in positions where there is termite activity.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar way, however they are usually situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. These systems are useful when the design of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
