Termite Treatment & Extermination

Around Australia, termites are often referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can wreak a significant amount of property damage each year. Due to their great capacity for destruction, residents of Ashfield Sydney are encouraged to find quality termite treatment services.

Termite Removal & Management

Termite treatments vary regarding their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are 2 major termite management strategies; trying to eliminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that try to create a barrier in between the termites and the building to be protected. Give us a call today for additional info on the price of termite treatments.

Chemical treatments are the more standard strategy to get rid of termites in Ashfield homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct advantages that cannot be ignored.

It is important to first have a specialist white ant exterminator visit the building to look at the situation.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can identify these breaks and once again access the building.

The often frequently used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

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

The regularly applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood they were infesting until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are more commonly placed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the building design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
