Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight around Australia. Once they infest a structure, termites can rapidly create a lot of damage, making it crucial to call your reliable Western Sydney Richmond termite pest control provider.

Removing & Managing Termites

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies utilised are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eradicating the termite colony entirely by baiting. For additional details on what these treatments cost, give us a call now.

White ant pest control in Richmond homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, baiting and interception to eradicate the termite colonys can bring some distinct benefits that cannot be ignored.

To make sure the job is carried out right, it’s vital to have a specialist white ant exterminator in to assess the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection on treated areas. However, if the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can detect these breaks and access the building.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after contact with them. In addition, individual termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Because the termites do not identify non repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is reduced.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your building by positioning bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

An entire nest may be destroyed in this manner, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the house design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
