Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight around Australia. When they infest a property, termites can rapidly create a large amount of damage, making it essential to call your reliable Balgowlah Heights termite protection provider.

Termite Removal & Management

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at them briefly. There are two main management strategies performed for termite control: first is the complete eradication of the colony with baiting, and next is with chemical treatment to make a barrier between the residence and the termites. Call us today for additional information on the costs involved with various treatment options.

White ant protection in Balgowlah Heights homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, interception and baiting to eradicate the termite colonys may have some distinct advantages that should not be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites can identify the gaps and can potentially get in.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since termites can not detect non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is a lot reduced.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the building by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they are attacking. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

The entire colony can be exterminated in this manner, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

An In Ground System is used in a similar manner, but they are usually placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. These systems are useful when the construction of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of A Termite Baiting System

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for use around children and pets
• Ecologically Smart
