Termite Protection & Treatment

In Australia, termites are often referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can wreak a significant level of property damage annually. Due to their great capacity for destruction, residents of Kirribilli are encouraged to find quality termite prevention services.

Termite Removal/Protection Strategies

Each situation is unique, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies utilised are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and getting rid of the termite colony entirely by baiting. For more information on what these treatment methods cost, give us a call now.

Typically, in Kirribilli, termite experts will use a chemical treatment as the preferred type removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has distinct benefits and should also be considered.

To ensure the job is carried out correctly, it is crucial to have a specialist white ant exterminator in to look at the damage.

So you already know there is a termite problem and need the most effective prevention on offer in Kirribilli? Do you wish to get a experienced termite prevention service in Kirribilli? We can assist you to make the right decision on the best options for your residence as well as providing affordable pricing.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection around treated places. However, if the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can sense these gaps and again access the house.

The regularly widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they move 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 creating a compounding effect.

Because the termites don’t identify these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the structures they were eating previously. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

An entire nest can be eradicated in this way, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are typically installed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the home design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not impacted by weather
• Safe for all your family & pets
• Environmentally friendly
