Termite Treatment & Protection

across the country it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in Five Dock every year, making termite treatment so vital.

Termite Removal

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let us look at them briefly. There’s two main strategies performed for termite control: one is the complete eradication of the colony via baiting, and the other is with chemical treatment to create a barrier between the building and the colony.

For the most part, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in Five Dock. However, there are distinct benefits to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection on treated places. However, if the treated places are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can sense these gaps and access the house.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repellent 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 white ants may also transfer the chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite access via non-treated gaps is lower.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite nest will 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.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are typically placed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the building design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not impacted by weather
• Safe to use around children and pets
• An environmentally smart solution

Common Signs That You May Have Termites

• Little holes found in drywall and timber
• Wood is damaged or decaying
• The presence of mud tubes on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the structure
• Mounds or nests can be seen in nearby trees
• Alates (winged termites) swarming from the nest
