Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge amounts of damage to properties in Newington Inner West every year, creating a strong need for termite treatment.

Termite Removal/Protection Strategies

Termite treatments change in terms of their aims and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two major termite management strategies; trying to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which try to make a barrier in between the termites and the building being protected.

In Newington, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ advantages that should not be dismissed.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided, they provide good protection in treated locations. If not all locations are reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can identify those gaps and get access via them.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants may also pass the chemicals on to other members of the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites cannot identify non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is considerably less likely.

A widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

The entire colony may be exterminated in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

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 stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
