Termite Protection & Treatment

White ant or termite infestations are rather common in Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Waverton North Shore annually. That is why termite removal and protection is extremely important.

Termite Control/Prevention Systems

There are different kinds of termite situations therefore the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the pros, they are likely to apply one of two general termite prevention processes. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Termite removal in Waverton homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys can have some distinct benefits that can not be ignored.

It is of great importance to engage the expertise of a specialist white ant exterminator to check out your home in order that the damage can be thoroughly looked at.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, 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, white ants may identify these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants can often pass these chemicals on to other members of the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites do not identify non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and thus access through possible gaps is limited.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which results in a flow on effect.

An entire colony may be eradicated in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly installed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the home design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
