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

Removing & Managing Termites

Termite treatments alter in terms of their goals and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain ingress.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

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

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber that they were eating up to now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
