Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight around Australia. When they infest a house, termites can rapidly cause a large amount of damage, making it crucial to call your trusted Hills District Baulkham Hills termite pest control provider.

Termite Removal/Prevention Strategies

Termite treatments vary in terms of their aims and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two major termite management strategies; attempting to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to produce a barrier in between the termites and the building being protected. Give us a call today for more information on the cost of termite pest controls.

Generally, in Baulkham Hills, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has distinct advantages and should also be considered.

It is vital to have the termite situation checked out by a professional bug exterminator to look at the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants can identify the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The most commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and so they won’t avoid the chemical. As a result of this, termites will pass through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual termites pass the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Because the termites do not detect non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and thus access through possible gaps is reduced.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

In this way, the whole termite nest can be erradicated, even if you do not 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.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
