Treatment & Control Against Termites

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge amounts of damage to buildings across Duffys Forest every year, creating a large need for termite treatment.

Termite Removal & Management

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let us look at each briefly. There are two main strategies carried out for termite pest control: one is the complete eradication of the colony via baiting, and the other is using chemical treatments to make a barrier between the house and the white ants. Call us today to find out more about the costs involved with the various treatment options.

White ant treatment in Duffys Forest homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys may bring some definate advantages that can not be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover these gaps and gain access.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most often used non-repellent option is Fipronil, which features a residual life of as many as eight years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the dwelling by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they are attacking. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

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

An In-Ground System is utilised in a similar way, but they’re usually placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the building may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
