Typically, in Terrey Hills, termite specialists use a chemical treatment as the preferred form removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has specific advantages and should be considered.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or some places cannot be treated due to access problems, then termites will identify those gaps and gain ingress via them.

The regularly commonly utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated places, the potential for termite ingress via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The commonly used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat features a residual life of up to eight years after application.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a house by positioning bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they are eating. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a home can make it difficult to install effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Flexible protection system
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• No danger to kids & pets
• Environmentally friendly

The Telltale Warning Signs Of Termite Infestation

There are several indications that your dwelling suffers from a white ant infestation:

• Miniscule holes in drywall and/or timber
• Wood that is damaged and collapsing
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or under the floor
• Colonys or mounds below trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony

How Problematic Can Termites Be?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of white ants can cause quite a lot of damage to a building. If the infestation becomes severe enough, the structure could potentially become unlivable.
