Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight around Australia. When they infest a home, termites can rapidly cause a considerable amount of damage, making it important to call your trusted North Shore Lane Cove West termite protection provider.

Managing & Removing Termites

Termite treatments change in terms of their goals and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are two main termite management strategies; trying to eradicate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to produce a barrier in between the termites and the building being protected.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites can identify these gaps and can potentially get in.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated areas, the potential of termite access through non-treated gaps is lower.

The often common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the dwelling by placing bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they are eating. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, even though you don’t 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 Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
