Termite Treatment Clemton Park

Around Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a significant level of property damage each year. Because of the great capacity for destruction, residents of Clemton Park South West Sydney are encouraged to seek reliable termite treatment services.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are various types of termite situations so the best treatments also vary. When you call in the professionals, they will likely to apply one of two general termite prevention strategies. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Termite treatment in Clemton Park homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, baiting and interception to eradicate the termite colonys can bring some distinct benefits that cannot be ignored.

It is important to first have a specialist white ant exterminator come out to the building to fully look at the situation.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

As termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual life of up to eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the structures they were infesting up to now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

In this fashion, the entire colony may be eliminated even when the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar way, but they’re usually installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
