Termite Protection & Removal

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight around Australia. When they infest a house, termites can rapidly cause a great deal of damage, making it important to call your reliable Epping termite protection provider.

Termite Control & Protection

You will find various kinds of termite infestations and so the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite removal systems. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Typically, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for white ant treatment in Epping. However, there are several benefits to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It is essential to have the white ant situation examined by a professional pest controller to look at the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor some locations can’t be treated because of access problems, then white ants may detect those gaps and gain access via those areas.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants may often pass these chemicals on to other members in the colony, providing a flow on and efficient result.

Since the termites don’t identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress through gaps.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to 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 entire colony may be eliminated even when the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are typically situated throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the home design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Not affected by weather

• Colonys or mounds below trees

Can Termites Badly Damage My Property?
