Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold quantities of damage to houses in Gymea annually, creating a large need for termite pest control.

Managing & Removing Termites

You can find different types of termite situations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite prevention processes. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

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

It’s vital to bring in an expert termite exterminator to visit your home and evaluate the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some locations can’t be treated as a result of access difficulties, the white ants may detect those gaps and attain ingress via those areas.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will also transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated places, the chance of termite access through non-treated gaps is lower.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the building by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they were attacking. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases 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 to make sure they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are employed in a similar manner, however they are usually installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the design of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not impacted by weather
• No danger to children or pets
• Environmentally Smart
