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 residences in Oxley Park Western Sydney every year, making termite treatment so vital.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are two main termite management strategies; attempting to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to create a barrier between the termites and the structure to be protected.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can sense the gaps and again access the building.

The most commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants may often transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient effect.

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

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood that they were infesting until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be exterminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
