Termite Treatment & Protection

In Australia, termites are frequently called ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can wreak a significant amount of property damage annually. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of Acacia Gardens Western Sydney are encouraged to find reliable termite pest control services.

Termite Control/Protection Systems

Termite treatments change in terms of their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are 2 main termite management strategies; trying to eliminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments which try to create a barrier in between the termites and the building being protected. Contact us today for more information on the price of termite pest controls.

In Acacia Gardens, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ benefits that should not be ignored.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants can recognise these gaps and can sometimes get in.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they don’t avoid the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will go through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual insects will pass the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the nest is unknown. It is important 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 locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
