Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge amounts of damage to homes in Smithfield on a yearly basis, creating a large requirement for termite inspection.

Removing & Managing Termites

Chemical remedies are a more standard strategy to eliminate white ants in Smithfield homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct advantages which cannot be forgotten.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided, they provide good protection in treated locations. However, if not all areas can be treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access via them.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is a widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is a lot reduced.

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a compounding result.

The entire nest can be destroyed in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
