In Australia it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Greenwich Sydney every year, making termite control so important.

Termite Removal & Management

The two main termite management strategies; trying to eliminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments which try to make a barrier in between the termites and the structure being protected.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t detect non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to get rid of termites in your dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a compounding effect.

In this manner, the entire colony can be eliminated even when the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another place.

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, but they’re usually installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are useful when the design of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.

Can A Colony Of Termites Damage My House?
