Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight in Australia. When they infest a structure, termites can rapidly create a considerable amount of damage, making it vital to call your trusted North Shore Gore Hill termite prevention provider.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at each briefly. There are two main strategies conducted for termite pest control: first is the total eradication of the colony through baiting, and second is with chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the home and the white ants. Call us today for additional information on the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated places are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can sense these gaps and access the house.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated areas, the possibility of termite access through non-treated gaps is much lower.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of as many as eight years after treatment.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to erradicate termites from your dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the wood. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

An entire colony may be eradicated in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the 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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
