Solution For Termite Infestation

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Surry Hills every year, making termite control so crucial.

Removing & Managing Termites

You will find several types of termite situations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the pros, they will likely to apply one of two general termite protection systems. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

In Surry Hills, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ advantages that shouldn’t be ignored.

It is wise to first have a professional termite exterminator come out to the building to fully look at the situation.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor places can’t be treated because of access problems, then white ants can detect the breaks and attain ingress via those areas.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is the most widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they move over 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 generating a compounding result.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise treated and untreated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a structure by placing bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been attacking. 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.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, even when you do not 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 may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
