Remedy For Termite Infestation

White ant or termite infestations are rather frequent around Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in Greenacre South West Sydney annually. That is why termite inspection and removal is extremely important.

Termite Control/Protection Systems

There are numerous potential treatments for termites, so let us look at each quickly.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or some areas can’t be treated as a result of access difficulties, then termites may detect the gaps and attain access through them.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

As termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which creates a flow on effect.

In this manner, the whole nest can be eliminated even when the location of the nest is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
