Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge quantities of damage to houses throughout Western Sydney on a yearly basis, creating a large requirement for termite prevention.

Termite Removal & Management

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at them quickly. There’s two main strategies performed for termite control: first is the total eradication of the colony through baiting, and the other is with chemical treatment to produce a barrier between the home and the white ants. Contact us today to find out more on the costs associated with the various treatment options.

White ant prevention in Western Sydney residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, baiting and interception to eradicate the termite colonys may bring some definate advantages that can not be ignored.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection around treated locations. However, if the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can detect these gaps and access the building.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because termites don’t identify non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

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

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

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are typically situated throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
