Termite Treatment Woodcroft

across the country it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Woodcroft Sydney each year, making termite treatment so essential.

Termite Removal/Prevention Systems

You can find different types of termite infestations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the experts, they are going to apply one of two general termite removal systems. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

White ant treatment in Woodcroft homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys may bring some distinct benefits that can not be ignored.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection on treated locations. However, if the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can sense these gaps and access the building.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they do not stay away from the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will move over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual termites will pass the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the colony which creates a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be erradicated, even when you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are more commonly situated around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
