Termite Treatment & Protection

In Australia, termites are often referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can wreak a massive level of property damage annually. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of Croydon Park Sydney are encouraged to find quality termite treatment services.

Termite Removal

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are generally employed for termite management in Croydon Park; either the production of a white ant barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Call us today for more details about the cost for termite management and treatment.

Chemical treatments are a more standard treatment to get rid of white ants in Croydon Park homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has distinct benefits that should not be forgotten.

To make sure the job is done correctly, it’s crucial to get a trusted white ant exterminator in to assess the situation.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection around treated places. However, if the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can sense these breaks and again access the house.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may also transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus causing a compounding result.

Because the termites don’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain access through breaks.

The most frequently used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to 8 years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to 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.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in positions where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly installed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the building design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
