Termite Protection & Treatment

White ant or termite infestations are rather frequent in Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in Potts Hill each year. That is why termite pest control and inspection is so important.

Termite Removal/Protection Strategies

There are several treatments possible and each one has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are generally utilised for termite management in Potts Hill; either the production of a termite barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Call us today for additional information about the price for termite management and treatment.

Chemical remedies are the more standard treatment to kill white ants in Potts Hill homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has distinct benefits that cannot be ignored.

To ensure the job is done correctly, it’s essential to have a reliable termite exterminator in to assess the situation.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants may identify the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

As termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire nest can be eliminated in this manner, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are typically placed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the building design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection
• Not impacted by weather conditions
