Treatment For Termite Infestation

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge amounts of damage to homes in Smithfield annually, creating a strong requirement for termite extermination.

Termite Removal

You will find different kinds of termite infestations therefore the best treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they will likely to apply one of two general termite management processes. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

In Smithfield, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that should not be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants can identify these gaps and can sometimes get in.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because the termites do not identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain access via possible breaks.

The frequently used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of as many as 8 years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which creates a compounding result.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, even though 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 used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a home will make it tricky to create effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Impervious to weather conditions
• Safe for all your family & pets
• Ecologically sound
