Termite Control & Protection

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Concord Inner West annually, making termite control so important.

Termite Control/Protection Systems

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at them briefly. There’s two main strategies conducted for termite control: one is the complete eradication of the colony via baiting, and the other is with chemical treatment to produce a barrier between the residence and the colony. Contact us today for additional information on the costs associated with various treatment options.

In Concord, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that should not be dismissed.

It is important to have your termite situation checked out by a professional pest controller to evaluate the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they do not stay away from the chemical. As a result of this, termites will go over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical onto other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Since termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of up to eight years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the timber they were infesting 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 then feed the bait to other colony members.

In this fashion, the colony can be eliminated even though the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a home can make it hard to install adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?

If left untreated, even just one nest of white ants are capable of doing an unexpected amount of destruction.
