Termite Protection & Treatment

Termite or white ant infestations are quite frequent around Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in Penrith annually. That is why termite inspection and pest control is very important.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are several treatments possible and each one has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are commonly employed for termite management in Penrith; either the production of a white ant barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide good protection in treated areas. However, if not all locations are treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access via them once again.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to five years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can also pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

Since termites cannot detect non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is commonly used to eliminate termites in the property, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits Of A Termite Baiting System

• Not impacted by weather conditions
• Safe for all your family & pets
