Treatment & Control Against Termites

Around Australia, termites are often referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can cause a massive amount of property damage each year. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of Gore Hill Sydney are advised to seek quality termite treatment services.

Termite Control/Prevention Strategies

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at them quickly. There are two main management strategies performed for termite pest control: one is the total eradication of the colony with baiting, and second is with chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the home and the colony. Call us today for additional information about the costs involved with the various treatment options.

In Gore Hill, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that should not be ignored.

It is vital to have the white ant situation checked out by a professional pest controller to look at the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided, so they provide good protection for treated areas. However, if not all areas can be treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can recognise those gaps and get access through them.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the residence by positioning bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they are attacking. This kills those 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 colony members.

In this way, the entire nest can be eliminated even though the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are typically installed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the house design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
