Termite Treatment & Protection

across the country it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Croydon Inner West every year, making termite control so essential.

Termite Removal/Protection Processes

There are several treatments possible and each one has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are generally employed for termite management in Croydon; either the production of a white ant barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Call us today for more details on the cost for termite treatment and management.

Generally, in Croydon, termite specialists will use a chemical treatment as the preferred form control strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some specific benefits and should also be considered.

To ensure the job is done correctly, it’s advised to have a trusted white ant exterminator in to look at the situation.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection for treated areas. However, if not all locations can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and get access through them once again.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and they won’t steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, termites go through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a compounding result.

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

The commonly used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a residual life of up to eight years after application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a flow on result.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this way, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a building will make it difficult to create effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
