Removal & Prevention Against Termites

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge levels of damage to properties throughout Annangrove Hills District each year, creating a large need for termite removal.

Termite Removal

There are different kinds of termite infestations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the specialists, they are likely to apply one of two general termite protection systems. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

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

It is vital to bring in a professional termite exterminator to check out your house and evaluate the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection around treated places. However, if the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can detect these breaks and access the house.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so they do not stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will go through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual termites transfer the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to eliminate termites from your home, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a compounding result.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be eliminated, even if 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 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 particularly vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
