Protection & Control Against Termites

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight around Australia. When they infest a home, termites can rapidly create a large amount of damage, making it crucial to call your trusted Phillip Bay termite protection provider.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at them quickly. There are two main management strategies carried out for termite control: one is the total eradication of the colony via baiting, and the other is using chemical treatments to create a barrier between the residence and the termites. Call us today to learn more on the costs involved with the various treatment options.

In Phillip Bay, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that shouldn’t be ignored.

It is important to first get a professional white ant exterminator visit the home to fully assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain ingress.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

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

Given termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated locations, the chance of termite access through non-treated gaps is lower.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which results in a compounding result.

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

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the house design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
