Termite Treatment & Protection

Termite or white ant infestations are rather common around Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Inner West each year. That is why termite pest control and removal is extremely important.

Termite Removal/Prevention Systems

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at them quickly. There are two main management strategies performed for termite control: first is the complete eradication of the colony via baiting, and next is using chemical treatment to make a barrier between the residence and the colony. Contact us today to learn more on the costs associated with various treatment options.

Chemical remedies are the more traditional treatment to kill white ants in Inner West homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct benefits that should not be forgotten.

It is important to first have a professional termite exterminator come out to the property to look at the situation.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if 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 can recognise these gaps and gain entry.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

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

The regularly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the wood that they were infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

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

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly situated around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the residence design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
