Prevention & Pest Control Against Termites

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold levels of damage to buildings in Potts Point annually, creating a strong requirement for termite prevention.

Termite Removal

Termite treatments change with regards to their aims and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are 2 main termite management strategies; attempting to eradicate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which try to make a barrier in between the termites and the structure being protected. Give us a call today to learn more about the price of termite preventions.

Chemical treatments are the more typical strategy to eliminate termites in Potts Point homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct benefits which should not be ignored.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites will identify these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to five years and is the most widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites can’t identify non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of 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.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be eliminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar manner, however they’re frequently situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for all the family including pets
• Ecologically sound
