Termite Treatment Thornleigh

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

Termite Removal

You can find various kinds of termite infestations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the professionals, they are likely to apply one of two general termite prevention processes. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Generally, in Thornleigh, termite specialists make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred type removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some distinct advantages and should be considered.

To make sure the job is carried out correctly, it’s advised to get a trusted white ant exterminator in to review the situation.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover these gaps and gain entry.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

Because the termites don’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain access via breaks.

The frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing 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 colony may be eliminated even when the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the residence design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
