Termite Protection & Treatment

Termite or white ant infestations are rather common in Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in Terrey Hills North Shore each year. That’s why termite pest control and inspection is essential.

Chemical remedies are a more traditional treatment to eliminate termites in Terrey Hills homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has some distinct advantages which should not be forgotten.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection around treated locations. However, if the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can sense the breaks and once again access the home.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is a commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated locations, the potential for termite ingress through non-treated gaps is much lower.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a dwelling by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

An entire colony may be destroyed in this way, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
