Termite Treatment & Protection

Around Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a massive amount of property damage every year. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of Richmond Western Sydney are encouraged to seek quality termite extermination services.

Termite Removal

There are numerous potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at them quickly. There are two main management strategies performed for termite control: first is the total eradication of the colony with baiting, and the other is with chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the house and the colony. Call us today for additional information on the costs involved with various treatment options.

In Richmond, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that shouldn’t be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a gap in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise these gaps and gain entry.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on result.

Because the termites don’t identify non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent on the market, and features a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber that they were eating up to now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a swelling makes it difficult to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
