Termite or white ant infestations are quite frequent within Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in Camperdown Inner West each year. That is why termite control and inspection is very important.

Termite Control & Protection

Termite treatments alter with regards to their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are 2 major termite management strategies; trying to eradicate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to create a barrier in between the termites and the structure to be protected.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify these gaps and gain access.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can also transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus causing a flow on effect.

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

The most often used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of as many as eight years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is frequently used to eliminate termites in your structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, thus creating a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, even when you do not 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 are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a house will make it hard to have effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
