Termite Treatment & Protection

across the country it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Illawong every year, making termite inspection so crucial.

Termite Removal

There are numerous potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at each quickly. There are two main management strategies performed for termite control: one is the total eradication of the colony via baiting, and next is using chemical treatment to make a barrier between the house and the colony. Contact us today to learn more about the costs associated with various treatment options.

Chemical treatments are a more typical strategy to get rid of white ants in Illawong homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has distinct benefits which cannot be ignored.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus causing a compounding effect.

Because termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be exterminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are typically installed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the house design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
