Termite Treatment Earlwood

Termite or white ant infestations are quite common in Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in Earlwood South West Sydney each year. That is why termite treatment and removal is very important.

Termite Removal/Prevention Strategies

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies utilised are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eliminating the termite colony entirely by baiting. For more information on what these treatment options cost, give us a call today.

In Earlwood, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that shouldn’t be ignored.

It’s important to get in an expert termite exterminator to check out your house and assess the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor locations can not be treated as a result of access difficulties, the termites will detect those breaks and gain access through them.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and they will not stay away from the chemical. As a result of this, termites pass over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites will pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a flow on result.

Since the termites can not detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain access via gaps.

The most commonly used non repellent option is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of up to eight years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures that they have been eating up to now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, even if 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.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar way, but they’re usually placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the home may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.

How Problematic Are Termites?

If left untreated, even just one colony of termites is capable of doing a surprising amount of destruction. The structure may even become unusable as a result of the severity of the problem, and in the extreme, may even be unrepairable.
