Termite Protection & Treatment

White ant or termite infestations are quite common around Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many residences in Leichhardt each year. That is why termite protection and prevention is so important.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are several treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are commonly utilised for termite management in Leichhardt; either the creation of a termite barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for more details about the price for termite management and treatment.

Typically, in Leichhardt, termite experts make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred kind control strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some distinct benefits and should be considered.

It is vital to get in an experienced termite exterminator to check out your premises and assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites can identify the gaps and can sometimes get in.

The most commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and so they won’t steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will pass through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual termites will transfer the chemical onto other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because the termites can not detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

The common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to erradicate termites in the house, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be erradicated, even if 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 may 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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Unimpacted by weather
• No danger for children & pets
