Termite Extermination & Protection

Termite or white ant infestations are rather frequent in Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Westleigh annually. That is why termite extermination and protection is very important.

Termite Removal/Protection Systems

Termite treatments vary regarding their aims and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. The two major termite management strategies; attempting to eradicate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that try to create a barrier in between the termites and the building to be protected. Give us a call today for additional info on the cost of termite exterminations.

Typically, in Westleigh, termite experts will use a chemical treatment as the preferred type control strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some distinct benefits and should also be considered.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

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

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they don’t stay away from the chemical. As a result of this, white ants will go through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated places, the potential for termite ingress via untreated gaps is far lower.

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a flow on effect.

An entire colony may be eradicated in this way, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite 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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems
