Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge quantities of damage to properties throughout Roselands South West Sydney on a yearly basis, creating a large requirement for termite protection.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

There are several treatments possible and each one has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are commonly used for termite management in Roselands; either the production of a white ant barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for additional information on the cost for termite management and treatment.

Chemical treatments are a more traditional strategy to kill white ants in Roselands homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct advantages that cannot be ignored.

It is important to call in a specialist termite exterminator to visit your property and assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify these gaps and gain access.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants can often pass these chemicals to other members in the colony, providing a compounding and efficient effect.

Since the termites can’t identify non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood that they have been infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be exterminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

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