Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold levels of damage to houses in Villawood South West Sydney each year, creating a large requirement for termite protection.

Termite Removal

There are different kinds of termite situations therefore the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the specialists, they will going to apply one of two general termite removal strategies. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites may recognise these gaps and can potentially get in.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of up to 5 years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and they don’t steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will go over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual termites pass the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the possibility of termite access through untreated gaps is lower.

The frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your dwelling by positioning bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they were eating. This kills those termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be eliminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are typically placed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the home design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
