Cure For Termite Infestation

Termite or white ant infestations are rather common around Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in East Lindfield North Shore each year. That is why termite treatment and protection is very important.

Termite Removal/Prevention Processes

There are various types of termite infestations therefore the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the pros, they are likely to apply one of two general termite prevention processes. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical treatments are a more standard treatment to kill termites in East Lindfield homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct advantages which should not be ignored.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites can identify the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to 5 years and is the most widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since the termites can’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress via breaks.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a compounding result.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a structure can make it tricky to have effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
