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

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at them briefly. There’s two main management strategies performed for termite pest control: one is the total eradication of the colony with baiting, and second is using chemical treatment to make a barrier between the home and the white ants.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated places, the possibility of termite access through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the structures that they have been eating previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be erradicated, even though you don’t 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.

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