Termite Protection Homebush

In Australia it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Homebush every year, making termite protection so important.

Managing & Removing Termites

Termite treatments change in terms of their goals and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are two major termite management strategies; trying to exterminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to make a barrier between the termites and the structure to be protected. Phone us today for additional information on the cost of termite protections.

In Homebush, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ benefits that should not be ignored.

It’s important to first get a specialist white ant exterminator visit the building to fully look at the situation.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise these gaps and gain access.

The most widely utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites can often transfer the chemicals to other members of the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

Since termites can not identify non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is significantly reduced.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber that they were eating previously. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

The entire nest can be eliminated in this way, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar fashion, but they’re frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. These systems are useful when the design of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Safe for use around kids and pets
