Prevention & Treatment Against Termites

In Australia it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in Arcadia each year, making termite prevention so essential.

Termite Removal & Management

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at each briefly. There are two main management strategies carried out for termite pest control: first is the complete eradication of the colony with baiting, and second is with chemical treatment to produce a barrier between the building and the termites. Call us today to learn more about the costs associated with various treatment options.

For the most part, chemical remedies the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in Arcadia. Nevertheless, there are several advantages to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites will recognise the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so they do not stay away from the chemical. Because of this, white ants will move over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual termites transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Because the termites do not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain access through breaks.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the pests to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites then feed the bait to other members of the nest which produces a compounding effect.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are typically placed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the house design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
