Removal & Prevention Against Termites

Termite or white ant infestations are rather common within Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Glenfield Campbelltown each year. That is why termite removal and prevention is extremely important.

Managing & Removing Termites

You will find various types of termite situations so the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they are going to apply one of two general termite prevention processes. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Generally, in Glenfield, termite specialists use a chemical treatment as the preferred type management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some specific advantages and should be considered.

It is necessary to have your termite situation checked out by a professional bug exterminator to look at the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can identify these breaks and once again access the home.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants will often transfer the chemicals on to other members in the colony, creating a compounding and efficient effect.

Because the termites do not identify non repellents, they will not recognise treated and untreated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is restricted.

The regularly common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber that they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be exterminated, even though you don’t 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 are employed in a similar fashion, however they are frequently installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.
