Treatment For Termite Infestation

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in Yellow Rock Sydney each year, making termite control so crucial.

Termite Control/Protection Processes

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at each quickly. There are two main management strategies conducted for termite control: first is the complete eradication of the colony through baiting, and the other is with chemical treatments to make a barrier between the building and the white ants. Contact us today for more information about the costs involved with the various treatment options.

Generally, in Yellow Rock, termite experts will use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some distinct advantages and should also be considered.

It is important to first have a professional termite exterminator come out to the property to assess the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and once again access the building.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after contact with them. Additionally, termites can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

As termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to get rid of termites from your house, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore creating a flow on result.

The entire nest can be exterminated in this manner, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

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