Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge amounts of damage to houses in Terrey Hills North Shore on a yearly basis, creating a strong need for termite treatment.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot detect non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is a lot reduced.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of up to eight years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the structure by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they were attacking. This soon kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in positions where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
