Protection & Prevention Against Termites

White ant or termite infestations are quite common in Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in Artarmon each year. That’s why termite protection and prevention is extremely important.

Termite Removal/Protection Systems

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are generally employed for termite management in Artarmon; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Contact us today for more details about the cost for termite treatment and management.

White ant protection in Artarmon residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys can have some distinct advantages that cannot be ignored.

It is vital to bring in a specialist termite exterminator to visit your home and assess the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided, they provide good protection in treated areas. If not all locations can be treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can identify the gaps and get access through them once again.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants can often transfer these chemicals on to other members in the colony, providing a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated places, the potential for termite access via non-treated gaps is far lower.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

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

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar way, however they are usually installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.
