Termite Control/Prevention Systems
Termite treatments vary in terms of their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. The two major termite management strategies; attempting to eliminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to produce a barrier in between the termites and the building to be protected. Phone us today for additional info on the cost of termite preventions.
Chemical remedies are the more typical strategy to kill termites in Petersham homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has distinct benefits that cannot be ignored.
It is vital to get in an experienced termite exterminator to check out your home and evaluate the damage.

Repelling Chemicals
Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise the gaps and gain entry.
The most frequently used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.
Non Repelling Chemicals
Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites can transfer these chemicals to other colony members, creating a compounding result.
Because termites do not detect non-repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.
Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.
Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.
An entire nest may be eradicated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.
In-Ground Systems can 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 essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
