Termite Protection & Treatment

In Australia it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in St Peters annually, making termite protection so crucial.

Termite Control/Protection Processes

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at them briefly. There are two main management strategies carried out for termite control: first is the total eradication of the colony through baiting, and next is using chemical treatment to make a barrier between the house and the termites. Call us today to find out more on the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Generally, in St Peters, termite experts make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred form management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has specific benefits and should be considered.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can identify these breaks and access the building.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to five years and is a commonly used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated places, the chance for termite ingress through untreated gaps is lower.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to eliminate termites in your structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, thus causing a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be eliminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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 can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits Of A Termite Baiting System
