Termite Protection
Cammeray North Shore

Solution For Termite Infestation

White ant or termite infestations are quite common in Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in Cammeray North Shore annually. That’s why termite protection and inspection is extremely important.

Termite Removal & Prevention

You can find different types of termite situations therefore the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the professionals, they are likely to apply one of two general termite prevention systems. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

In Cammeray, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ benefits that shouldn’t be ignored.

To ensure the job is done right, it is crucial to have a trusted white ant exterminator in to assess the situation.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or areas cannot be treated due to access difficulties, then termites will detect those breaks and gain access via them.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated places, the possibility of termite ingress via untreated gaps is lower.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to erradicate termites in the structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, thus causing a compounding effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this way, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.

How Destructive Can Termites Be?

When left untreated, even a single colony of termites are capable of doing a surprising amount of damage. The home can even become unsafe due to the significance of the problem, and in extreme cases, can be unrepairable.
