Glen Alpine Campbelltown

Cure For Termite Infestation

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight around Australia. Once they infest a house, termites can rapidly cause a large amount of damage, making it vital to call your trusted Campbelltown Glen Alpine termite treatment provider.

Termite Control/Protection Systems

There are several treatments possible and each one has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are commonly used for termite management in Glen Alpine; either the production of a white ant barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Contact us today for more details about the price for termite management and treatment.

White ant treatment in Glen Alpine residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, interception and baiting to eradicate the termite colonys may have some distinct benefits that cannot be ignored.

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

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

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

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a dwelling by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they are attacking. This kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
