Remedy For Termite Infestation

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge quantities of damage to houses across Oatlands North West on a yearly basis, creating a strong requirement for termite treatment.

Termite Control/Protection Systems

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are generally utilised for termite management in Oatlands; either the production of a white ant barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting.

Generally, in Oatlands, termite experts will make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred kind management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has specific advantages and should also be considered.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some places can not be treated due to access difficulties, then termites can identify those gaps and gain access through them.

The regularly commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Because termites cannot detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a dwelling by placing bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been attacking. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

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 particularly vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
