In Australia, termites are frequently called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can wreak a significant level of property damage every year. Due to their great capacity for destruction, residents of Kenthurst Hills District are advised to find reliable termite protection services.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are different kinds of termite situations so the best treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite management strategies. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants will recognise the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to 5 years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites will also transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient effect.

Because the termites do not identify non repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is limited.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the structures they have been eating until now. 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.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
