Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge levels of damage to properties throughout Botany each year, creating a strong need for termite protection.

Termite Control & Protection

There are different types of termite infestations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the professionals, they are likely to apply one of two general termite protection strategies. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

In Botany, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ advantages that should not be ignored.

It is important to first have a specialist white ant exterminator come out to the house to look at the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can detect the gaps and once again access the building.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Because termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to 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.

An entire nest may be exterminated in this way, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a home will make it hard to create adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
