Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold amounts of damage to properties across Homebush Sydney each year, creating a large requirement for termite treatment.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let us take a look at each quickly. There are two main strategies carried out for termite pest control: one is the complete eradication of the colony through baiting, and the other is using chemical treatments to create a barrier between the building and the white ants. Contact us today for additional information about the costs associated with various treatment options.

In Homebush, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that shouldn’t be ignored.

It is important to get in an experienced termite exterminator to visit your premises and assess the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can identify these breaks and again access the building.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and they will not avoid the chemical. As a result of this, termites move over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual termites transfer the chemical onto other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is a lot reduced.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the structures that they have been eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

An entire colony may be eradicated in this way, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a structure makes it challenging to install effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
