Two main strategies are typically used for termite management in Surry Hills; either the production of a white ant barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to five years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and so they won’t avoid the chemical. Because of this, termites pass through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Because the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the white ants to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be exterminated, even though you don’t 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.

In Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not influenced by weather conditions
• No danger for children & pets
• An environmentally smart solution
