Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge levels of damage to homes throughout Riverwood on a yearly basis, creating a large requirement for termite control.

Termite Control/Prevention Strategies

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. For more information on what these treatment methods cost, give us a call now.

Typically, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for white ant treatment in Riverwood. Nevertheless, there are distinct benefits to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It’s wise to first have a specialist termite exterminator come out to the home to look at the situation.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

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

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as many as 5 years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so they don’t avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will move over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Since the termites do not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your building by placing bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they are eating. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be exterminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a structure will make it difficult to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Poor weather does not impact control
• No danger for the kids & pets
• Eco-friendly
