Treatment & Prevention Against Termites

across the country it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Croydon Sydney each year, making termite treatment so important.

Termite Removal/Prevention Processes

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let us have alook at them quickly. There are two main strategies performed for termite control: one is the total eradication of the colony via baiting, and second is with chemical treatments to create a barrier between the home and the termites.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants can identify these gaps and could potentially get in.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites will also pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

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

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

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your home by placing bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been attacking. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are typically installed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the structure design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
