Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold quantities of damage to houses across West Ryde North West every year, creating a strong requirement for termite control.

Termite Removal/Protection Systems

You will find different types of termite situations and so the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the specialists, they are going to apply one of two general termite prevention 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 white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Typically, in West Ryde, termite specialists will use a chemical treatment as the preferred type management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has specific advantages and should also be considered.

It is important to have your white ant situation checked out by a professional bug exterminator to assess the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection around treated places. However, if the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can identify these breaks and again access the home.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be erradicated, even if you do not 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 are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
