Termite Prevention & Protection

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

Termite Removal/Management Processes

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

White ant prevention in Killara homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys can bring some definate benefits that cannot be ignored.

It’s important to first have a specialist termite exterminator come out to the house to fully assess the situation.

If you think that your house or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Give us a call to get the advice of the most experienced termite prevention team covering the Killara area. We will assist you to make an educated decision on this important service, and offer you a competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some places can’t be treated as a result of access problems, the white ants will detect those gaps and gain access via those areas.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since the termites do not detect non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

The common used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the pests to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other members of the nest which creates a compounding result.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in places where there is termite activity.

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 catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection system
• Unimpacted by weather
• Safe to use around kids and pets
• Green
