Treatment & Control Against Termites

across the country it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in Clemton Park South West Sydney annually, making termite treatment so crucial.

Termite Control & Protection

Termite treatments alter in terms of their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are two major termite management strategies; attempting to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that try to create a barrier in between the termites and the structure being protected. Call us today for more information on the cost of termite treatments.

Chemical treatments are a more traditional treatment to eliminate termites in Clemton Park homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has distinct benefits that should not be ignored.

It’s important to first have a professional termite exterminator visit the building to look at the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection on treated areas. However, if the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can sense the gaps and once again access the home.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because termites can not identify non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is a lot reduced.

The regularly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

In this fashion, the entire nest may be eliminated even though the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the residence design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
