Treatment & Removal Against Termites

White ant or termite infestations are rather common in Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in Chester Hill South West Sydney each year. That is why termite treatment and removal is so important.

Termite Removal/Prevention Processes

You can find different types of termite situations so the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the pros, they are going to apply one of two general termite management processes. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical remedies are the more typical strategy to kill termites in Chester Hill homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct advantages that should not be ignored.

It is important to get in a specialist termite exterminator to check out your property and evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided. So they provide excellent protection in treated areas. If not all areas are treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can recognise the gaps and get access through them once again.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to 5 years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

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

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

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.
