Termite Treatment & Pest Control

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge amounts of damage to buildings throughout Parklea Sydney on a yearly basis, creating a large need for termite treatment.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

Each situation is unique, 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 eradicating the termite colony entirely by baiting. For additional details on what these treatments cost, give us a call today.

In Parklea, 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 ignored.

It’s important to get in an experienced termite exterminator to check out your home and evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites may recognise these gaps and can potentially gain access.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

Because the termites do not detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

The most used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood that they were eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

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