Control & Prevention Against Termites

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Castlereagh Sydney annually, making termite control so important.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at them quickly. There are two main strategies performed for termite pest control: one is the complete eradication of the colony with baiting, and next is using chemical treatments to make a barrier between the building and the colony. Contact us today for more information on the costs associated with the various treatment options.

White ant control in Castlereagh residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys can bring some distinct advantages that should not be ignored.

It’s important to first get a professional white ant exterminator come out to the property to fully look at the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a gap in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access.

The often commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and so they don’t avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will move over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects pass the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Because the termites do not detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a residual life of as many as eight years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a flow on result.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly situated around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the house design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
