Termite Prevention & Pest Control

In Australia it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in St Peters each year, making termite prevention so crucial.

There are two strategies utilised are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eradicating the termite colony entirely by baiting.

Generally, in St Peters, termite specialists use a chemical treatment as the preferred type control strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some specific benefits and should also be considered.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can identify the breaks and access the home.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites will often transfer the chemicals on to other members in the colony, creating a compounding and efficient effect.

Since termites cannot identify non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is significantly less likely.

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from structures 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 white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be exterminated, even when you don’t 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 help in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a house will make it difficult to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
