Termite Prevention
Hills District

Solution For Termite Infestation

Around Australia, termites are frequently called ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can cause a massive level of property damage every year. Because of the great capacity for destruction, residents of Hills District are advised to find reliable termite prevention services.

Removing & Managing Termites

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

In Hills District, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that should not be dismissed.

It is vital to call in a specialist termite exterminator to visit your premises and evaluate the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection on treated areas. However, if the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can detect these gaps and again access the building.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and so they do not avoid the chemical. Because of this, white ants pass through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual insects transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is a lot less likely.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the house by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they were eating. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

An entire nest may be eliminated in this manner, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
