Termite or white ant infestations are rather common in Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in South Turramurra annually. That’s why termite treatment and protection is so important.

Termite Removal & Management

Termite treatments vary in terms of their goals and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are 2 major termite management strategies; trying to eliminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to make a barrier in between the termites and the building to be protected. Give us a call today for additional info on the cost of termite treatments.

For the most part, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in South Turramurra. Nevertheless, there are distinct benefits to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants may recognise these gaps and can sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will move 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 creating a compounding effect.

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a flow on result.

An entire colony can be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the colony 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 white ant activity.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for kids and pets
• Environmentally friendly

The Warning Signs Of A Termite Infestation
