Termite Removal & Prevention

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 residences in Fairfield every year, making termite removal so important.

Termite Control/Protection Processes

Generally, in Fairfield, termite specialists make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred kind removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some distinct advantages and should be considered.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Since termites can not detect non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is significantly less likely.

The often common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire colony can be destroyed in this way, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, but they’re usually placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the home may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.

• Nests or mounds in tree areas

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?
