Termite Treatment Forest Lodge

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight in Australia. When they infest a structure, termites can rapidly create a large amount of damage, making it important to call your dependable Sydney Forest Lodge termite treatment provider.

Managing & Removing Termites

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies utilised are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eradicating the termite colony entirely by baiting. For additional details on what these treatment options cost, give us a call now.

In Forest Lodge, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that should not be ignored.

It is highly recommended to engage the services of a professional pest exterminator to check over your property so the damage can be thoroughly assessed.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants will identify these gaps and could potentially gain access.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

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

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the entire colony may be eliminated even though the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate area.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are typically placed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the house design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
