Termite Protection & Treatment

In Australia it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Belmore every year, making termite protection so important.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

You will find several kinds of termite situations and so the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the professionals, they are going to apply one of two general termite removal strategies. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

In Belmore, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that shouldn’t be ignored.

It is important to have your white ant situation checked out by a professional bug exterminator to assess the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants may recognise these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of up to 5 years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because termites don’t identify non repellents, they won’t recognise treated and untreated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is restricted.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to get rid of termites from your house, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the wood. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

The entire colony may be exterminated in this manner, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are typically situated around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the home design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
