Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight in Australia. When they infest a home, termites can rapidly cause a large amount of damage, making it important to call your dependable Sydney Baulkham Hills termite treatment provider.

Removing & Managing Termites

Termite treatments alter in terms of their aims and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are two main termite management strategies; trying to eliminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to produce a barrier in between the termites and the structure being protected. Call us today to learn more about the cost of termite treatments.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain entry.

The regularly commonly utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites can often pass these chemicals to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient effect.

Because the termites can’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

The most common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your building by positioning bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been attacking. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be eliminated, even though you do not 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 are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a swelling will make it tricky to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
