Pest Control & Removal Against Termites

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create untold levels of damage to houses throughout Watsons Bay Sydney every year, creating a large requirement for termite pest control.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are several treatments possible and each one has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are generally employed for termite management in Watsons Bay; either the creation of a termite barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide great protection in treated locations. If not all locations can be reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can identify the gaps and gain access via them.

The often widely utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites will transfer these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because termites do not detect non repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood that they were eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
