Termite Protection & Treatment

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Horsley Park each year, making termite prevention so important.

Managing & Removing Termites

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies used are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eradicating the termite colony entirely by baiting. For additional details on what these treatment methods cost, give us a call today.

Typically, in Horsley Park, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred form control strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has distinct benefits and should also be considered.

It’s important to first have a professional white ant exterminator come out to the building to fully evaluate the situation.

If you feel that your house or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Phone us to receive the help of the most experienced termite prevention team covering the Horsley Park area. We will help you to make a well informed decision about this important service, and offer you a very competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants may recognise these gaps and can potentially get in.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of as many as 5 years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may also pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Because the termites don’t identify non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain access through gaps.

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the structures that they have been eating previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this way, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

In-Ground Systems are often installed throughout 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 intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for all the family & pets
• Ecologically smart
