Treatment For Termite Infestation

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge amounts of damage to properties in Bungarribee Sydney annually, creating a strong need for termite treatment.

Termite Removal & Prevention

There are several kinds of termite situations and so the best treatments also vary. When you call in the professionals, they are likely to apply one of two general termite protection processes. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

In Bungarribee, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that shouldn’t be ignored.

It is wise to first get a professional termite exterminator visit the property to fully look at the situation.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor locations cannot be treated due to access difficulties, then white ants may detect those gaps and gain access through those areas.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

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

Since termites cannot detect non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to get rid of termites from the dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, thus causing a compounding effect.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.

What Damage Can Termites Do?
