Termite Treatment & Control

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create untold amounts of damage to properties throughout Bardwell Valley Sydney each year, creating a strong requirement for termite treatment.

Termite Control & Protection

You will find several types of termite infestations so the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they are going to apply one of two general termite prevention processes. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

For the most part, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in Bardwell Valley. Nevertheless, there are several advantages to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It is important to engage the expertise of an experienced white ant exterminator to check over your house so the damage can be fully assessed.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites will identify these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and they will not steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, termites will go over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because the termites don’t identify non-repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

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

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the structures they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be erradicated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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 may 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 essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
