Termite Protection & Treatment

Termite or white ant infestations are rather frequent around Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in Kings Cross each year. That is why termite protection and treatment is so important.

Managing & Removing Termites

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies used are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eliminating the termite colony entirely by baiting. To learn more about what these treatments cost, give us a call today.

In Kings Cross, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that should not be ignored.

It is important to have your termite situation checked out by a professional pest controller to assess the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites may recognise the gaps and can sometimes get in.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites may also transfer these chemicals to other members of the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient effect.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a structure by positioning bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber 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 nest members.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be exterminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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 Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a structure will make it challenging to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Flexible protection system
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for all your family & pets
• Environmentally sound
