Termite Protection & Treatment

White ant or termite infestations are quite frequent around Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Croydon Sydney each year. That is why termite treatment and removal is so important.

Termite Removal & Prevention

Termite treatments vary in terms of their goals and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are two major termite management strategies; trying to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to produce a barrier between the termites and the structure to be protected.

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

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, they provide great protection for treated areas. If not all areas can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can identify the gaps and get access through them.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as five years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and they do not avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will go over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual termites transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated places, the potential of termite ingress through untreated gaps is lower.

The most often used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of as many as eight years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the nest which results in a flow on effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems may 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 essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
