Treatment & Removal Against Termites

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight around Australia. When they infest a home, termites can rapidly cause a large amount of damage, making it essential to call your trusted Smithfield termite treatment provider.

Termite Removal

There are several treatments possible and each has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are generally employed for termite management in Smithfield; either the production of a white ant barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Call us today for additional information on the cost for termite management and treatment.

Chemical treatments are a more traditional treatment to eliminate termites in Smithfield homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct advantages which cannot be forgotten.

To ensure the job is done right, it is advised to get a reliable termite exterminator in to review the situation.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and so they will not avoid the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will go through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual insects will pass the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to eliminate termites from the property, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore creating a compounding result.

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

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, but they’re usually installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the building may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Not afflicted with weather
• No danger to children & pets
• Eco friendly
