Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge amounts of damage to buildings throughout Epping on a yearly basis, creating a strong need for termite treatment.

Termite Removal & Prevention

There are several treatments possible and each one has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are commonly used for termite management in Epping; either the creation of a termite barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for more information on the price for termite management and treatment.

Chemical treatments are the more traditional strategy to eliminate white ants in Epping homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct benefits which should not be forgotten.

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

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites will identify the gaps and could potentially get in.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated areas, the chance of termite ingress via non-treated gaps is lower.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are often used to get rid of termites from your dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

In this way, the nest may be eliminated even when the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate place.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are more commonly placed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the dwelling design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Unaffected by weather conditions

• Mounds or colonys can be found in nearby trees
• Swarms of alates flying from the termite nest
