Termite Protection & Treatment

Termite or white ant infestations are rather frequent around Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in Naremburn North Shore annually. That’s why termite removal and inspection is essential.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at each briefly. There’s two main management strategies performed for termite pest control: first is the complete eradication of the colony with baiting, and second is with chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the building and the white ants. Contact us today to find out more about the costs associated with various treatment options.

As a general rule, chemical remedies the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in Naremburn. However, there are several benefits to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain entry.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites can pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Since termites can not detect non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is a lot less likely.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the structures they have been eating previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be erradicated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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 particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Can A Colony Of Termites Damage My Home?
