Termite Treatment & Protection

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Dural North West each year, making termite protection so vital.

Managing & Removing Termites

Termite treatments vary with regards to their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two major termite management strategies; trying to exterminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to make a barrier in between the termites and the structure being protected. Call us today for additional info on the price of termite protections.

Chemical remedies are the more typical strategy to kill termites in Dural homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct advantages that cannot be ignored.

It is important to first get a specialist white ant exterminator come out to the building to fully evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for protection around treated locations. However, if the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can sense the gaps and again access the property.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of up to 5 years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants may often pass the chemicals to other members of the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites don’t detect non repellents, they won’t recognise untreated and treated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is restricted.

The often used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of as many as eight years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the pests to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which produces a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole colony may be eliminated even though the location of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate place.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically situated throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

How Destructive Are Termites?

When left untreated, even a single colony of termites can do an unexpected amount of damage. The dwelling can even become unusable due to the severity of the problem, and in the extreme, can be irreparable.
