Prevention & Control Against Termites

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold quantities of damage to houses across Bangor South West Sydney on a yearly basis, creating a large requirement for termite prevention.

Termite Removal

There are several treatments possible and each one has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are generally used for termite management in Bangor; either the production of a termite barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Contact us today for more information about the price for termite management and treatment.

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

It’s wise to first have a specialist white ant exterminator visit the building to look at the situation.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some locations can not be treated due to access problems, then termites will detect those gaps and attain ingress via those areas.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites will pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Since the termites can not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain access through possible gaps.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent available today, and features a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the building by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they are eating. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

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 catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

What Damage Can Termites Do?

For such tiny individuals, a nest of white ants can cause significant amounts of damage to a dwelling. If the infestation becomes bad enough, the structure may become unlivable.
