Treatment For Termite Infestation

across the country it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Canada Bay Inner West each year, making termite removal so vital.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

There are several treatments possible and each one has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are commonly used for termite management in Canada Bay; either the creation of a termite barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Contact us today for more details about the cost for termite management and treatment.

In Canada Bay, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that should not be dismissed.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or areas can’t be treated due to access problems, the white ants will identify the breaks and gain ingress via them.

The often widely utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants will often transfer the chemicals to other members of the colony, generating a compounding and efficient result.

Since the termites can not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

The most common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a flow on effect.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be exterminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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 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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
