Termite Treatment & Protection

across the country it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Longueville North Shore every year, making termite treatment so important.

Termite Removal & Management

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let us have alook at them briefly. There’s two main management strategies performed for termite control: one is the total eradication of the colony with baiting, and second is with chemical treatments to create a barrier between the building and the white ants. Call us today to find out more on the costs associated with various treatment options.

White ant treatment in Longueville residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys may bring some distinct benefits that can not be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection in treated locations. If not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can recognise those gaps and gain access through them.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may also transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

Since termites don’t detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon 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 can be eliminated, even when 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 Baiting Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
