Termite Treatment & Protection

In Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a massive level of property damage each year. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of Glenbrook Sydney are encouraged to seek quality termite treatment services.

Termite Removal & Prevention

Termite treatments vary in terms of their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are two major termite management strategies; attempting to eliminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to create a barrier in between the termites and the structure to be protected. Phone us today to learn more about the price of termite treatments.

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

To ensure the job is done correctly, it is crucial to get a specialist pest exterminator in to look at the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites can recognise the gaps and can potentially get in.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they go through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites can also pass these chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites don’t detect non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

An entire nest can be eliminated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a building can make it hard to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
