Termite Treatment & Removal

Termite or white ant infestations are quite common within Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in Constitution Hill Sydney annually. That’s why termite treatment and control is extremely important.

Termite Removal & Prevention

There are numerous potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at them briefly. There are two main strategies carried out for termite control: one is the complete eradication of the colony via baiting, and the other is using chemical treatment to create a barrier between the building and the termites. Call us today for more information on the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Chemical treatments are the more standard strategy to kill white ants in Constitution Hill homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has some distinct benefits which should not be forgotten.

It is necessary to have your white ant situation checked out by a professional bug exterminator to look at the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide great protection for treated locations. If not all areas can be reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can recognise the gaps and get access via them.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants may also transfer the chemicals to other members of the colony, providing a flow on and efficient result.

Because the termites do not identify non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress through breaks.

The most applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

In this way, the entire colony may be eliminated even when the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the home design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
