Around Australia, termites are frequently called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can wreak a significant level of property damage each year. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of Lilyfield are encouraged to find reliable termite prevention services.

Termite Control & Protection

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at them briefly.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants will identify the gaps and could sometimes get in.

The regularly commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a flow on effect.

Because the termites can’t identify these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole colony can be eliminated even when the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

An In Ground System is used in a similar manner, however they’re generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.
