Termite Treatment Chester Hill

Termite or white ant infestations are quite common in Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in Chester Hill Sydney annually. That is why termite treatment and protection is extremely important.

Termite Control/Prevention Strategies

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let us look at them quickly. There are two main strategies carried out for termite pest control: one is the total eradication of the colony with baiting, and second is using chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the building and the termites. Call us today for additional information on the costs associated with various treatment options.

White ant treatment in Chester Hill homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys can bring some distinct benefits that can not be ignored.

It is important to get in a specialist termite exterminator to check out your home and assess the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites will recognise these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The regularly widely utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

Since termites can’t detect non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is much reduced.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the wood they were eating previously. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

In this manner, the colony may be eliminated even when the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate area.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the building design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.

What Destruction Can Termites Do?

For such tiny individuals, a nest of white ants is capable of doing a great deal of damage to a structure. If the problem becomes severe enough, the property may become unlivable.
