Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold levels of damage to buildings in Merrylands every year, creating a large requirement for termite extermination.

Termite Control/Prevention Processes

Termite treatments change regarding their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two main termite management strategies; attempting to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to make a barrier between the termites and the building to be protected. Phone us today for more information on the cost of termite exterminations.

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

It is highly recommended to engage the expertise of a specialist white ant exterminator to check out your property so the damage can be thoroughly reviewed.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when 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 can recognise these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated places, the chance of termite ingress via untreated gaps is lower.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the structures that they were infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in places where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Not impacted by weather conditions
• Safe for kids and pets
