Protection & Extermination Against Termites

White ant or termite infestations are rather frequent around Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in Fairfield West each year. That is why termite protection and extermination is very important.

Termite Control/Protection Processes

There are several treatments possible and each one has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are commonly employed for termite management in Fairfield West; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Call us today for more info about the cost for termite management and treatment.

White ant protection in Fairfield West homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys may have some distinct benefits that can not be ignored.

It is wise to first get a professional termite exterminator come out to the building to fully assess the damage.

If you feel that your home or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Give us a call to get the advice of the best termite protection team covering the Fairfield West area. We will help you to make an educated decision on this important service, and offer you a very competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can identify these breaks and again access the home.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of up to five years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Since the termites do not detect non repellents, they won’t recognise untreated and treated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is restricted.

A widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to erradicate termites in the home, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on effect.

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 fashion, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly placed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the dwelling design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Baiting System Benefits

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Not impacted by weather
