Extermination & Protection Against Termites

In Australia, termites are frequently referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a significant amount of property damage each year. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of Surry Hills are encouraged to seek quality termite extermination services.

Termite Removal & Prevention

Each situation is unique, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies utilised are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and getting rid of the termite colony entirely by baiting.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites can identify the gaps and can potentially get in.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to five years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites can not detect non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is a lot reduced.

The often common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a flow on effect.

In this manner, the whole nest can be eliminated even though the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are more commonly situated around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the home design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
