Termite Treatment Freshwater

In Australia it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Freshwater Sydney annually, making termite treatment so important.

Termite Removal & Prevention

There are several treatments possible and each has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are typically employed for termite management in Freshwater; either the production of a white ant barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting.

Generally, in Freshwater, termite experts will use a chemical treatment as the preferred form management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some specific advantages and should also be considered.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites will recognise the gaps and could potentially gain access.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a flow on result.

Because the termites don’t detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain access through breaks.

The most often used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a building by placing bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been eating. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be erradicated, even when you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

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