In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Fairfield Heights Sydney each year, making termite treatment so important.

Each situation is unique, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies used are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eradicating the termite colony entirely by baiting.

Typically, in Fairfield Heights, termite specialists make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred kind management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some distinct benefits and should also be considered.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated places are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can detect these gaps and again access the property.

The often widely applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants will also pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites can not identify non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is a lot reduced.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the house by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they are attacking. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole nest can be eliminated even though the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a building can make it hard to create effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
