Termite Treatment Wakeley

White ant or termite infestations are quite common in Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in Wakeley Sydney each year. That’s why termite treatment and control is so important.

Termite Removal & Management

Termite treatments vary with regards to their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two major termite management strategies; attempting to eradicate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to create a barrier between the termites and the structure being protected. Contact us today for more information on the cost of termite treatments.

In Wakeley, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that should not be dismissed.

To make sure the job is done right, it’s essential to have a reliable termite exterminator in to review the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can detect the gaps and access the house.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

Since the termites do not detect non repellents, they won’t recognise untreated and treated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a flow on result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, however they’re frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
