Termite Protection Cherrybrook

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge quantities of damage to properties across Cherrybrook North West each year, creating a strong requirement for termite protection.

Termite Removal & Prevention

There are different kinds of termite situations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the experts, they will going to apply one of two general termite management strategies. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical treatments are a more typical treatment to kill white ants in Cherrybrook homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has some distinct advantages which cannot be ignored.

It’s wise to first have a professional white ant exterminator visit the house to assess the damage.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection on treated locations. However, if the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can sense these breaks and once again access the home.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is the most widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and they will not avoid the treated areas. Because of this, termites pass through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual insects pass the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated areas, the possibility of termite ingress via untreated gaps is much lower.

The common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your residence by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they were eating. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

An entire nest may be exterminated in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are typically installed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the structure design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
