Termite Treatment & Protection

Termite or white ant infestations are rather frequent in Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Stanmore Inner West annually. That is why termite treatment and removal is so important.

Termite Removal & Management

There are several kinds of termite infestations and so the best treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite protection systems. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical treatments are a more typical treatment to kill white ants in Stanmore homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct benefits that should not be forgotten.

It’s important to first have a specialist white ant exterminator come out to the house to fully assess the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they will go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because termites do not identify non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is restricted.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a residence by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they are eating. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a home will make it hard to have adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
