Treatment & Protection Against Termites

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in Neutral Bay North Shore each year, making termite treatment so vital.

Termite Removal/Protection Strategies

Termite treatments vary with regards to their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are 2 major termite management strategies; attempting to eradicate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which try to produce a barrier between the termites and the structure being protected.

Termite treatment in Neutral Bay residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys can bring some distinct benefits that should not be ignored.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection on treated locations. However, if the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can identify the gaps and once again access the property.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and they don’t avoid the chemical. As a result of this, white ants will move over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites transfer the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of as many as eight years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be exterminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
