Termite Protection & Treatment

White ant or termite infestations are rather common in Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in Summer Hill each year. That’s why termite inspection and prevention is so important.

Managing & Removing Termites

Termite treatments alter in terms of their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two main termite management strategies; attempting to eradicate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that try to create a barrier between the termites and the building being protected. Call us today for additional info on the price of termite inspections.

In Summer Hill, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ benefits that should not be ignored.

It is essential to have the termite situation checked out by a professional pest controller to look at the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor some areas can not be treated because of access issues, then termites can detect the breaks and gain ingress via those areas.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore causing a compounding effect.

Because the termites do not detect non repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is restricted.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the house by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they were eating. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be erradicated, 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 throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a building can make it challenging to have adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
