Termite Protection
Kirribilli North Shore

Treatment For Termite Infestation

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create untold amounts of damage to homes across Kirribilli North Shore each year, creating a strong need for termite protection.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let us look at each quickly. There are two main management strategies performed for termite pest control: first is the total eradication of the colony via baiting, and next is with chemical treatments to create a barrier between the residence and the colony. Call us today for additional information on the costs associated with various treatment options.

Chemical treatments are a more standard treatment to kill white ants in Kirribilli homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct benefits that cannot be ignored.

It’s wise to first have a specialist white ant exterminator come out to the home to fully evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites may also transfer these chemicals to other members of the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient result.

Because the termites can not identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain access via breaks.

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to erradicate termites in your structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

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

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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Really Do?

For such tiny individuals, a nest of termites (white ants) is capable of causing quite a lot of damage to a home. If the problem becomes severe enough, your home could potentially become unusable.
