Termite Treatment & Protection

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Lewisham Sydney annually, making termite treatment so crucial.

Termite Control/Prevention Systems

There are numerous potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at them quickly. There are two main management strategies conducted for termite control: one is the complete eradication of the colony with baiting, and the other is with chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the building and the white ants.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

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

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after exposure to them. Additionally, termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated areas, the chance of termite ingress via non-treated gaps is much lower.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

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

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
