Termite Protection & Treatment

Termite or white ant infestations are rather frequent within Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many residences in Riverview North Shore each year. That is why termite treatment and inspection is extremely important.

Termite Removal

There are several treatments possible and each has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are generally employed for termite management in Riverview; either the production of a white ant barrier between the residence and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting.

Chemical remedies are a more traditional strategy to eliminate termites in Riverview homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct benefits which should not be forgotten.

To ensure the job is done right, it is essential to get a specialist white ant exterminator in to assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can detect the breaks and again access the home.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because the termites can’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain access through breaks.

The most commonly used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as eight years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the structures that they have been eating up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

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

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are typically installed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the building design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
