Treatment For Termite Infestation

Termite or white ant infestations are rather common within Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in West Lindfield annually. That’s why termite extermination and removal is so important.

Termite Control & Protection

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies used are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eliminating the termite colony entirely by baiting.

Termite extermination in West Lindfield residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys may have some distinct advantages that can not be ignored.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most commonly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a residual life of as many as eight years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this manner, the colony can be eliminated even though the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another area.

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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
