Termite Treatment & Removal

In Australia it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Gore Hill Sydney every year, making termite treatment so vital.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

Termite treatments vary in terms of their aims and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two major termite management strategies; attempting to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that try to produce a barrier in between the termites and the structure being protected.

Typically, in Gore Hill, termite experts will use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind control strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has specific benefits and should be considered.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they will move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Since termites cannot detect non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The most used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the colony which results in a compounding result.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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 can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
