Termite Treatment & Protection

In Australia, termites are frequently referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can wreak a massive amount of property damage annually. Due to their great capacity for destruction, residents of Eveleigh Sydney are advised to seek reliable termite control services.

Termite Control/Prevention Processes

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies employed are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eradicating the termite colony entirely by baiting. To learn more about what these treatments cost, give us a call now.

Chemical remedies are the more standard strategy to get rid of white ants in Eveleigh homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct benefits which cannot be forgotten.

To ensure the job is done correctly, it’s vital to have a specialist white ant exterminator in to assess the damage.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect 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 covered, termites can recognise the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is the most widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not identify non repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is restricted.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the dwelling by positioning bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole nest may be eliminated even though the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate area.

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar fashion, but they’re generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
