Termite Control & Treatment

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight in Australia. When they infest a home, termites can rapidly cause a large amount of damage, making it essential to call your trusted Matraville termite control provider.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are commonly used for termite management in Matraville; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting.

Chemical remedies are a more standard treatment to kill termites in Matraville homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has distinct advantages which should not be forgotten.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain ingress.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because the termites do not identify non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

The most common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a house by positioning bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been eating. This soon kills those termites that eat 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.

An entire colony may be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a house makes it hard to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
