Termite Treatment & Removal

White ant or termite infestations are rather common around Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in Burwood Sydney annually. That is why termite treatment and protection is very important.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are typically employed for termite management in Burwood; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Contact us today for more information about the cost for termite treatment and management.

Chemical treatments are a more typical strategy to eliminate termites in Burwood homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct benefits which cannot be ignored.

It is necessary to have the termite situation checked out by a professional bug exterminator to evaluate the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain entry.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The regularly common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

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

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are typically placed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the house design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
