Termite Pest Control Putney

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold levels of damage to houses throughout Putney on a yearly basis, creating a strong requirement for termite pest control.

Termite Control/Prevention Processes

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at them briefly. There’s two main management strategies conducted for termite control: first is the total eradication of the colony through baiting, and second is using chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the residence and the colony. Call us today for more information about the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Chemical treatments are a more typical strategy to kill termites in Putney homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has distinct advantages that should not be ignored.

It’s vital to call in an expert termite exterminator to visit your house and evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can identify the gaps and again access the building.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

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

The most often used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a residual life of up to 8 years following treatment.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a building, 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 eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

In this fashion, the entire nest may be eliminated even though the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate place.

In-Ground Systems are employed in a similar way, but they’re usually installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are useful when the design of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems
