Termite Treatment Shanes Park

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold levels of damage to properties across Shanes Park Sydney annually, creating a large requirement for termite treatment.

Termite Removal & Prevention

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let us take a look at each briefly. There are two main strategies conducted for termite control: one is the total eradication of the colony with baiting, and second is with chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the house and the colony.

White ant treatment in Shanes Park homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys may bring some definate benefits that cannot be ignored.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites can recognise the gaps and could sometimes get in.

The regularly frequently applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

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

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a flow on result.

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

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are typically installed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the residence design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.

What Damage Can Termites Do?
