Prevention & Extermination Against Termites

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 houses in Mulgoa Western Sydney each year, making termite prevention so important.

Termite Removal

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let us look at each quickly. There are two main management strategies performed for termite pest control: one is the total eradication of the colony via baiting, and second is with chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the residence and the colony. Call us today for additional information about the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Chemical treatments are a more standard strategy to kill white ants in Mulgoa homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has distinct advantages which cannot be forgotten.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided, they provide excellent protection in treated areas. If not all areas can be treated, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can recognise those gaps and gain access via them once again.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

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

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is regularly used to eliminate termites in the home, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a flow on effect.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in places where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are more commonly situated around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the house design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
