Remedy For Termite Infestation

Around Australia, termites are frequently referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can wreak a significant level of property damage each year. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of Engadine Sydney are encouraged to seek quality termite treatment services.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are generally used for termite management in Engadine; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the residence and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Contact us today for additional information about the price for termite management and treatment.

Chemical remedies are a more typical strategy to eliminate white ants in Engadine homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct benefits which cannot be forgotten.

It is important to engage the services of a professional white ant exterminator to look at your house in order that the damage can be thoroughly assessed.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

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

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of up to five years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and they don’t steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, termites pass through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual termites transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Since termites do not detect non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

The common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is not known.

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