Termite Protection & Treatment

In Australia it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in Bonnyrigg each year, making termite protection so vital.

Managing & Removing Termites

You will find several types of termite situations therefore the best treatments also vary. When you call in the professionals, they are likely to apply one of two general termite removal processes. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

For the most part, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in Bonnyrigg. Nevertheless, there are distinct benefits to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It is important to first have a professional white ant exterminator visit the house to look at the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify these gaps and gain ingress.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t identify non repellents, they will not recognise treated and untreated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a compounding result.

In this way, the whole colony may be eliminated even when the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a structure can make it difficult to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

• Not affected by weather conditions
• No danger for kids & pets
