Termite Protection & Treatment

White ant or termite infestations are rather common in Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Tempe Inner West annually. That’s why termite pest control and removal is very important.

Termite Control/Prevention Processes

There are various types of termite infestations so the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the specialists, they will likely to apply one of two general termite management processes. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

As a general rule, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in Tempe. Nevertheless, there are several advantages to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It is important to engage the services of a specialist white ant exterminator to check over your house so that the damage can be fully looked at.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants may identify the gaps and can sometimes get in.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated places, the chance for termite ingress via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to eliminate termites in your property, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, even when you don’t 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.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar way, but they’re frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the home may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
