Termite or white ant infestations are quite common within Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in Fairfield South West Sydney each year. That’s why termite protection and treatment is so important.

Managing & Removing Termites

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and they don’t stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, termites go over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since termites do not identify non-repellents, they don’t recognise treated and untreated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the white ants to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a flow on result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

In Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
