Treatment & Pest Control Against Termites

across the country it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Revesby Heights Sydney every year, making termite treatment so important.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at them briefly. There are two main management strategies carried out for termite pest control: first is the complete eradication of the colony with baiting, and the other is with chemical treatment to create a barrier between the house and the termites. Contact us today to find out more about the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection on treated places. However, if the treated places are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can identify the gaps and once again access the building.

The regularly widely used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

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

Given termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated places, the possibility of termite ingress through untreated gaps is lower.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be exterminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are more commonly installed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the structure design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
