Solution For Termite Infestation

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Prospect Sydney each year, making termite treatment so crucial.

Termite Removal

You can find several types of termite situations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the professionals, they will likely to apply one of two general termite prevention systems. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical remedies are a more standard strategy to eliminate termites in Prospect homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct advantages which should not be forgotten.

To make sure the job is carried out correctly, it’s crucial to get a specialist termite exterminator in to assess the situation.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can discover the gaps and gain entry.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they will go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because the termites can’t detect non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

The frequently used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the timber they were infesting until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

In this fashion, the entire nest can be eliminated even though the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Systems may 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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

If left untreated, even just one nest of termites are capable of doing an unexpected amount of destruction. The home may even become unsafe as a result of the severity of the issue, and in extreme cases, can be irreparable.
