Removal & Pest Control Against Termites

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge amounts of damage to homes across Hills District every year, creating a large requirement for termite removal.

Termite Control/Protection Processes

Termite treatments vary regarding their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two major termite management strategies; trying to eliminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that try to create a barrier between the termites and the structure to be protected. Call us today for additional information on the cost of termite removals.

In Hills District, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ benefits that shouldn’t be ignored.

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

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor some locations can’t be treated as a result of access difficulties, then termites can detect the breaks and gain access through them.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a compounding result.

Because termites can’t identify non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been infesting 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 feed that bait to further colony members.

An entire nest can be eliminated in this way, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed 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 essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Do?

If left untreated, even a single nest of white ants are capable of doing an unexpected amount of destruction. The dwelling can even become unsafe because of the severity of the infestation, and in extreme cases, may even be unrepairable.
