Termite Treatment & Protection

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Gregory Hills every year, making termite pest control so vital.

Managing & Removing Termites

You can find several kinds of termite situations so the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the pros, they are going to apply one of two general termite management strategies. 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 white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical treatments are the more traditional treatment to eliminate white ants in Gregory Hills homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct benefits which should not be ignored.

It is vital to get in a specialist termite exterminator to visit your house and assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can identify the gaps and access the property.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and they don’t steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, termites move over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual termites transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is significantly less likely.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the structures they were infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

The entire nest can be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems can 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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

• Obvious termite nests & mounds in trees close to the building
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony
