Control & Pest Control Against Termites

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold quantities of damage to properties across Leichhardt every year, creating a strong need for termite control.

Termite Removal

There are several treatments possible and each has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are commonly utilised for termite management in Leichhardt; either the creation of a termite barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites will identify the gaps and could potentially get in.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in places where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they’re generally situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• No danger for youngsters & pets
