Termite Treatment Homebush

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold quantities of damage to buildings throughout Homebush Inner West each year, creating a strong requirement for termite treatment.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are several treatments possible and each one has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are typically employed for termite management in Homebush; either the production of a white ant barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Call us today for more details about the price for termite treatment and management.

Chemical treatments are the more traditional strategy to eliminate termites in Homebush homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has distinct advantages that cannot be ignored.

It’s important to first get a professional termite exterminator visit the house to assess the situation.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can sense these gaps and access the property.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because the termites don’t detect non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and thus access through possible gaps is reduced.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a home by placing bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been attacking. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this way, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

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 intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
