Termite Control
Wetherill Park South West Sydney

Solution For Termite Infestation

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge quantities of damage to buildings in Wetherill Park South West Sydney each year, creating a strong requirement for termite control.

Termite Control/Protection Processes

Termite treatments change in terms of their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are 2 major termite management strategies; trying to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which try to make a barrier between the termites and the building to be protected. Give us a call today for more information on the cost of termite controls.

Chemical remedies are a more traditional strategy to kill white ants in Wetherill Park homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has some distinct advantages that should not be forgotten.

It’s wise to first have a professional termite exterminator come out to the building to evaluate the situation.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to five years and is a widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

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

Because termites can’t detect non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The often used non-repellent option is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years after treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber that they have been eating up to now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony 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 manner, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a home can make it challenging to have effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.

What Destruction Can Termites Cause?

If left untreated, even a single colony of white ants are capable of doing an unexpected amount of damage.
