Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold quantities of damage to houses across Berowra Heights Sydney annually, creating a strong need for termite control.

Termite Removal/Protection Strategies

You will find different types of termite infestations therefore the best treatments also vary. When you call in the professionals, they are going to apply one of two general termite protection systems. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical remedies are a more standard strategy to kill white ants in Berowra Heights homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct benefits which cannot be ignored.

It’s wise to first get a specialist white ant exterminator visit the house to evaluate the situation.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants may identify the gaps and could potentially gain access.

The often commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can transfer these chemicals to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

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

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a home by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been eating. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

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

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the house design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.
