Termite Treatment & Protection

In Australia, termites are frequently called ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can cause a significant amount of property damage annually. Due to their great capacity for destruction, residents of North St Marys Sydney are advised to find quality termite treatment services.

Termite Control/Protection Strategies

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at each briefly. There are two main management strategies carried out for termite pest control: one is the complete eradication of the colony via baiting, and next is using chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the house and the white ants. Call us today to find out more on the costs involved with various treatment options.

In North St Marys, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that shouldn’t be dismissed.

It’s wise to first have a professional termite exterminator come out to the property to assess the situation.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to 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, with a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and they do not steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, termites will go through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual insects pass the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since termites do not identify non-repellents, they will not recognise untreated and treated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most frequently used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to eight years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to eliminate termites from your structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

An entire nest may be exterminated in this way, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

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 especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
