Termite Treatment & Protection

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

Managing & Removing Termites

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are typically employed for termite management in The Ponds; either the creation of a termite barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for more info on the cost for termite management and treatment.

As a general rule, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in The Ponds. However, there are distinct benefits to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It is important to first have a professional white ant exterminator visit the house to fully assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some areas can not be treated because of access issues, then termites may detect those gaps and gain ingress via those areas.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of as many as five years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated places, the potential for termite ingress via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were eating previously. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be exterminated, even when you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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 placed 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 home can make it hard to have adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
