Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge levels of damage to buildings throughout Northmead on a yearly basis, creating a large requirement for termite treatment.

Termite Control/Protection Systems

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at each quickly. There are two main strategies performed for termite pest control: one is the total eradication of the colony via baiting, and second is using chemical treatments to make a barrier between the home and the termites. Call us today to find out more on the costs involved with the various treatment options.

Chemical remedies are a more traditional strategy to get rid of white ants in Northmead homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has distinct benefits which should not be ignored.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated places are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and once again access the home.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most commonly used non-repellent option is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years after treatment.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a flow on effect.

The entire colony may be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection
• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe to use around children and pets
• Eco-friendly
