Protection & Pest Control Against Termites

White ant or termite infestations are quite frequent within Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in Hornsby each year. That is why termite protection and pest control is so important.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

Termite treatments vary in terms of their aims and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are two main termite management strategies; trying to eradicate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to produce a barrier between the termites and the structure being protected. Phone us today to learn more about the price of termite protections.

In Hornsby, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that should not be dismissed.

To ensure the job is done right, it is crucial to have a specialist white ant exterminator in to look at the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites can recognise these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The regularly widely applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they will pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

As termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your residence by positioning bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they were eating. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not impacted by weather
• No danger to children or pets
• An environmentally smart solution

• Trees in the area show signs of colonys & mounds
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen flying to and from the colony
