Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create untold amounts of damage to homes throughout Sydenham annually, creating a large requirement for termite protection.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

There are several treatments possible and each has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are commonly utilised for termite management in Sydenham; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Call us today for more info on the price for termite treatment and management.

Chemical remedies are the more standard treatment to eliminate termites in Sydenham homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct advantages which should not be forgotten.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection in treated locations. If not all locations can be reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access through them.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of as many as five years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants will also pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

Since the termites don’t identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a home by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they are eating. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be exterminated, even when you do not 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.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the house design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact control
