Termite Treatment & Protection

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Concord Inner West every year, making termite pest control so essential.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

You can find different types of termite infestations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the professionals, they are likely to apply one of two general termite prevention strategies. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

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

It is necessary to have the white ant situation checked out by a professional bug exterminator to look at the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants may identify the gaps and could potentially get in.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so they do not stay away from the treated areas. Because of this, white ants go through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual insects will transfer the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated areas, the possibility of termite ingress through non-treated gaps is lower.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to get rid of termites in the house, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, causing a compounding result.

In this manner, the entire colony may be eliminated even when the location of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a home makes it hard to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
