Call us today for more information about the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Generally, in Manly, termite experts will use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind control strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has distinct advantages and should also be considered.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection in treated locations. However, if not all areas are treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and get access via them.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and so they won’t avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants pass through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual termites pass the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

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

The most commonly used non-repellent option is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be erradicated, even if 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 Baiting Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Impervious to weather conditions
• Safe for youngsters and pets
