Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge quantities of damage to properties across Kogarah Sydney every year, creating a large requirement for termite pest control.

Termite Removal/Protection Strategies

You will find different kinds of termite infestations and so the best treatments also vary. When you call in the professionals, they will likely to apply one of two general termite management processes. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or locations can not be treated due to access difficulties, then white ants will identify those gaps and gain access through those areas.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites can also pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, generating a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is regularly used to eliminate termites from the house, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, causing a flow on result.

In this manner, the colony may be eliminated even when the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a structure will make it challenging to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
