Treatment For Termite Infestation

In Australia it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in Westleigh every year, making termite treatment so crucial.

Termite Control/Protection Systems

There are several types of termite infestations therefore the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the experts, they will likely to apply one of two general termite removal systems. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical treatments are the more standard strategy to eliminate termites in Westleigh homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has distinct benefits which cannot be ignored.

To ensure the job is done right, it is essential to have a specialist pest exterminator in to look at the situation.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants may recognise these gaps and could potentially get in.

The often widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after contact with them. In addition, termites will pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the structures that they have been infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

An entire nest may be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly installed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the building design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unaffected by weather
• Safe for children and pets
