Termite Control & Protection

White ant or termite infestations are rather frequent around Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Phillip Bay Sydney annually. That’s why termite control and inspection is extremely important.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are commonly utilised for termite management in Phillip Bay; either the production of a termite barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting.

In Phillip Bay, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that should not be dismissed.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites can’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

The often used non repellent option is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as eight years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the structures they have been infesting until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

An entire colony may be destroyed in this way, 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 observed white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, but they’re usually installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the building may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
