Treatment For Termite Infestation

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge amounts of damage to homes across Emu Heights Sydney every year, creating a strong need for termite treatment.

Termite Removal

You can find different kinds of termite infestations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the specialists, they are likely to apply one of two general termite removal processes. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical remedies are the more standard treatment to get rid of white ants in Emu Heights homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct benefits that should not be forgotten.

It is important to first have a specialist termite exterminator come out to the building to look at the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain entry.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and they don’t steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, white ants will go over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual insects pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a flow on effect.

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

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

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

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

In Ground Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Can Termites Really Damage My Building?

If left untreated, even just one colony of white ants is capable of doing a surprising amount of damage.
