Termite Treatment & Extermination

In Australia it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Randwick Sydney each year, making termite treatment so important.

Termite Removal/Prevention Systems

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at each briefly. There’s two main strategies carried out for termite control: one is the total eradication of the colony via baiting, and next is using chemical treatments to create a barrier between the building and the white ants. Call us today for additional information on the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Typically, in Randwick, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred form removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has distinct benefits and should also be considered.

It is crucial to have your white ant situation checked out by a professional bug exterminator to look at the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can identify the gaps and access the home.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Since termites can’t identify non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most commonly used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of as many as eight years after application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to erradicate termites from the property, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, thus causing a compounding result.

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

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a swelling can make it challenging to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
