Termite Protection & Treatment

Around Australia, termites are frequently called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can wreak a massive level of property damage annually. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of Bangor South West Sydney are advised to find quality termite prevention services.

Termite Control/Prevention Systems

There are different types of termite infestations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite management processes. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Typically, in Bangor, termite experts will use a chemical treatment as the preferred form control strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some distinct advantages and should also be considered.

It is wise to first have a specialist white ant exterminator come out to the property to evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or areas can not be treated as a result of access problems, then termites will identify the gaps and gain ingress through those areas.

The often frequently applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and they won’t stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants move over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual insects pass the chemical onto other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which creates a flow on result.

In this fashion, the colony can be eliminated even though the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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 especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
