Termite Treatment & Protection

White ant or termite infestations are quite common within Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in Eastwood North West each year. That’s why termite extermination and pest control is very important.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are different types of termite infestations so the best treatments also vary. When you call in the specialists, they will likely to apply one of two general termite removal processes. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical remedies are the more traditional strategy to eliminate termites in Eastwood homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has distinct benefits that cannot be forgotten.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor areas can not be treated because of access issues, then termites may identify the gaps and gain access through those areas.

The regularly commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may also pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a compounding result.

Because the termites do not identify non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is frequently used to eliminate termites from your home, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, causing a compounding effect.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar fashion, however they are frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
