Termite Treatment & Protection

In Australia, termites are often referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can cause a significant amount of property damage each year. Because of the great capacity for destruction, residents of Leppington are advised to find quality termite control services.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are different types of termite situations so the best treatments also vary. When you call in the pros, they are likely to apply one of two general termite removal strategies. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

In Leppington, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ advantages that shouldn’t be ignored.

It is wise to first get a professional white ant exterminator come out to the home to assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover these gaps and gain ingress.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will also pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

Since the termites don’t detect non repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is reduced.

The most applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber they were infesting up to now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar way, however they are generally installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Not impacted by weather
