Termite Prevention
East Ryde North West

Prevention & Protection Against Termites

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge amounts of damage to properties throughout East Ryde North West each year, creating a strong requirement for termite prevention.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are several treatments possible and each one has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are typically used for termite management in East Ryde; either the production of a termite barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting.

Chemical remedies are the more standard strategy to eliminate termites in East Ryde homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has distinct advantages which should not be forgotten.

It is vital to have the termite situation examined by a professional bug exterminator to assess the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection in treated areas. If not all locations can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can identify the gaps and gain access via them.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can transfer these chemicals to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Since the termites can not identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent available today, and features a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be erradicated, even when 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 can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
