Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge amounts of damage to properties across Pymble North Shore each year, creating a strong requirement for termite removal.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let us look at them briefly. There’s two main management strategies carried out for termite pest control: one is the total eradication of the colony with baiting, and the other is using chemical treatment to make a barrier between the home and the white ants. Contact us today to find out more about the costs associated with various treatment options.

Chemical treatments are the more typical treatment to eliminate white ants in Pymble homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has some distinct advantages which cannot be forgotten.

It is necessary to have the white ant situation examined by a professional bug exterminator to assess the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

The often frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated areas, the chance of termite access via non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were eating previously. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the location of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
