Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight around Australia. When they infest a home, termites can rapidly create a considerable amount of damage, making it vital to call your reliable Inner West Canterbury termite pest control provider.

Termite Removal/Prevention Systems

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at them quickly. There are two main strategies carried out for termite pest control: one is the total eradication of the colony through baiting, and second is using chemical treatments to create a barrier between the home and the termites. Contact us today for additional information about the costs associated with various treatment options.

In Canterbury, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that shouldn’t be ignored.

It is important to first get a specialist white ant exterminator visit the building to assess the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided, they provide great protection for treated areas. If not all locations can be treated, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can identify the gaps and gain access through them.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites do not identify non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is restricted.

The most common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to eliminate termites from the structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the structure. Also, 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 colony may be eliminated even when the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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 especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
