Treatment & Protection Against Termites

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Plumpton annually, making termite treatment so essential.

Termite Control & Protection

There are different types of termite infestations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they are going to apply one of two general termite management systems. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical remedies are a more standard strategy to get rid of white ants in Plumpton homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct benefits which should not be forgotten.

It is essential to have the termite situation checked out by a professional pest controller to assess the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection in treated areas. However, if not all locations can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can identify those gaps and get access through them.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants will often transfer the chemicals on to other members in the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

The entire colony can be eliminated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not afflicted with weather
• Safe for all your family including pets
• Ecologically Friendly
