Protection & Pest Control Against Termites

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge levels of damage to homes throughout Davidson North Shore every year, creating a large requirement for termite protection.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

There are several types of termite infestations and hence the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the specialists, they will likely to apply one of two general termite protection systems. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical remedies are the more traditional strategy to get rid of termites in Davidson homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct benefits which cannot be ignored.

It is wise to first have a professional white ant exterminator come out to the building to evaluate the situation.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites will recognise the gaps and can potentially get in.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on result.

Since termites do not identify non-repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most often used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to eight years following application.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a flow on result.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be exterminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
