Solution For Termite Infestation

White ant or termite infestations are quite common within Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Cabramatta South West Sydney each year. That is why termite treatment and prevention is extremely important.

Termite Control/Protection Strategies

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are commonly employed for termite management in Cabramatta; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection around treated areas. However, if the treated places are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can sense these breaks and again access the building.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated areas, the chance for termite access through non-treated gaps is much lower.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other members of the colony which creates a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, even though 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 Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
