In Australia, termites are frequently called ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can cause a significant level of property damage each year. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of Ashbury South West Sydney are advised to find quality termite inspection services.

Termite Control/Prevention Systems

Termite treatments vary regarding their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are two main termite management strategies; attempting to eradicate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which try to produce a barrier in between the termites and the structure being protected.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical application, either due to 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 as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the possibility of termite access through untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most commonly used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as eight years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are often used to eliminate termites from the home, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be erradicated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems can 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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
