Termite Pest Control & Extermination

across the country it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Lapstone Western Sydney annually, making termite pest control so important.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

Termite treatments change in terms of their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are two major termite management strategies; trying to eradicate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that try to make a barrier between the termites and the structure to be protected.

In Lapstone, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that should not be dismissed.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or some locations cannot be treated due to access difficulties, then white ants will identify the gaps and attain ingress through them.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is the most widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites can often pass the chemicals on to other members in the colony, providing a compounding and efficient result.

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

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the timber that they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this way, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically installed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the home design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
