Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge quantities of damage to properties throughout Meadowbank North West every year, creating a strong requirement for termite removal.

Termite Control/Protection Processes

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at them quickly. There’s two main management strategies carried out for termite pest control: one is the total eradication of the colony through baiting, and next is using chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the house and the termites.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated places aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can sense these breaks and access the building.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites can also pass the chemicals on to other members of the colony, providing a compounding and efficient effect.

As termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is regularly used to get rid of termites in the residence, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be erradicated, even though you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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 are utilised in a similar way, but they are generally placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the design of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.
