Termite Treatment & Protection

Around Australia, termites are frequently referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can cause a massive level of property damage every year. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of Leichhardt are advised to find reliable termite prevention services.

Termite Control/Protection Processes

Termite treatments change regarding their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two major termite management strategies; trying to eliminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to create a barrier between the termites and the structure being protected.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection on treated places. However, if the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can sense the gaps and again access the home.

The often commonly utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after contact with them. In addition, individual termites can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because the termites do not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

The often used non-repellent option is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as eight years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your structure by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been attacking. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be exterminated, even when you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a building makes it hard to have effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Poor weather does not impact control
• No danger for youngsters & pets
