Control & Extermination Against Termites

across the country it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in Waitara North West annually, making termite control so important.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at them briefly. There are two main strategies performed for termite pest control: first is the complete eradication of the colony via baiting, and the other is using chemical treatment to make a barrier between the home and the white ants. Call us today to find out more on the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Generally, in Waitara, termite specialists will use a chemical treatment as the preferred form removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some specific benefits and should be considered.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants will recognise the gaps and could potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to 5 years and is the most widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants may also pass the chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite access via non-treated gaps is lower.

The common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the residence by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been attacking. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this fashion, the colony may be eliminated even though the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
