In Australia it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Alfords Point South West Sydney every year, making termite extermination so vital.

In Alfords Point, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ advantages that shouldn’t be ignored.
It’s important to first have a specialist white ant exterminator visit the house to assess the situation.

Repelling Chemicals
The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can detect these breaks and access the building.
The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of as much as five years.
Non-Repellent Chemicals
Non-repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and so they don’t avoid the treated areas. Because of this, termites move through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual insects will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.
Since termites can’t identify non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is significantly less likely.
The common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of up to 8 years.
Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.
An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in places where there is termite activity.
In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, but they are usually placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
