Termite Extermination
Woolwich North West

Treatment For Termite Infestation

In Australia, termites are frequently referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a significant level of property damage each year. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of Woolwich North West are advised to seek quality termite extermination services.

Termite Removal

You can find different kinds of termite infestations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they are going to apply one of two general termite management processes. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

In Woolwich, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that shouldn’t be ignored.

It is important to have the termite situation examined by a professional bug exterminator to look at the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection on treated places. However, if the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can detect the breaks and once again access the property.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and they do not avoid the treated areas. Because of this, termites will move through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects will pass the chemical onto other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since termites do not detect non repellents, they do not recognise treated and untreated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is not known.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
