Termite Protection & Treatment

In Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a massive level of property damage annually. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of West Lindfield are advised to seek quality termite treatment services.

Termite Removal

There are various types of termite infestations so the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the professionals, they will likely to apply one of two general termite removal strategies. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical treatments are a more traditional treatment to kill white ants in West Lindfield homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has some distinct benefits that cannot be ignored.

To ensure the job is carried out right, it is essential to have a trusted termite exterminator in to assess the situation.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap 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 identify the gaps and gain entry.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites may often transfer the chemicals to other members in the colony, providing a compounding and efficient result.

Since the termites can’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control 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 thus encouraging the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be erradicated, even though 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 Systems may 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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Advantages

• Flexible protection system
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for use around children and pets
• Environmentally sound
