Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight in Australia. Once they infest a structure, termites can rapidly create a lot of damage, making it crucial to call your trusted Sydney Leonay termite treatment provider.

Termite Removal & Prevention

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies employed are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eliminating the termite colony entirely by baiting. To learn more about what these treatment options cost, give us a call today.

Typically, in Leonay, termite experts will make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred type removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has specific advantages and should also be considered.

It is wise to first have a specialist white ant exterminator come out to the house to evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection in treated locations. However, if not all locations are treated, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and get access through them once again.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they will pass through 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 creating a compounding result.

Because termites can not detect non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your structure by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they were eating. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be erradicated, even though 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 often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
