Termite Protection & Treatment

Termite or white ant infestations are quite common in Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in Brookvale Sydney annually. That is why termite treatment and control is very important.

Termite Removal

There are several treatments possible and each has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are generally used for termite management in Brookvale; either the production of a white ant barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection in treated locations. However, if not all locations can be reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can recognise those gaps and gain access through them.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites will often pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites do not identify non repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is reduced.

The common used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a dwelling by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they are eating. This kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be exterminated, even when 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 utilised in a similar manner, however they are frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.
