This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Typically, in Westmead, termite experts will make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred kind management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has distinct advantages and should also be considered.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can detect these breaks and once again access the house.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated locations, the chance for termite access via non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes 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.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

An In-Ground System is utilised in a similar manner, but they are frequently situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. These systems are useful when the design of the building may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for all your family & pets
