Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge levels of damage to properties across Kellyville Hills District each year, creating a strong need for termite control.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are several kinds of termite situations and hence the best treatments also vary. When you call in the pros, they are going to apply one of two general termite removal systems. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Termite control in Kellyville homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys can have some definate advantages that cannot be ignored.

It is necessary to have your termite situation examined by a professional bug exterminator to look at the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

If you feel that your home or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Phone us and get the assistance of the most experienced termite control team covering the Kellyville area.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

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

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated places, the potential of termite access through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a dwelling, 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 they were infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

The entire nest can be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, but they’re generally installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are useful when the design of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?

You may be surprised to find out that wite ants are capable of doing a lot of damage to timber structures. If the problem becomes severe enough, they can even make a dwelling unlivable.
