Treatment & Removal Against Termites

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold amounts of damage to buildings throughout Blairmount Sydney each year, creating a strong need for termite treatment.

Termite Removal & Prevention

You will find several kinds of termite situations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the professionals, they are likely to apply one of two general termite management systems. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical remedies are the more traditional treatment to kill termites in Blairmount homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct advantages which cannot be ignored.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after exposure to them. In addition, termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Since the termites can’t identify non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain access through breaks.

The regularly common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites then feed the bait to other members of the nest which creates a compounding effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are more commonly placed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the dwelling design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
