Termite Protection & Treatment

White ant or termite infestations are quite common in Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in Hills District annually. That is why termite pest control and prevention is essential.

Termite Removal/Protection Strategies

Termite treatments vary regarding their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are 2 major termite management strategies; trying to eliminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that try to produce a barrier in between the termites and the structure to be protected.

Typically, in Hills District, termite experts will use a chemical treatment as the preferred type management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has specific advantages and should be considered.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants may recognise the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The most widely utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and so they won’t steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants move over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual termites will pass the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

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

The most often used non repellent option is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of as many as eight years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the nest which results in a compounding result.

In this fashion, the colony can be eliminated even when the location of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

An In-Ground System is utilised in a similar manner, however they are generally placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the property can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
