Extermination & Treatment Against Termites

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Gymea Sutherland every year, making termite extermination so vital.

Termite Removal/Prevention Strategies

There are different kinds of termite infestations therefore the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the pros, they will likely to apply one of two general termite protection systems. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical treatments are a more standard strategy to get rid of white ants in Gymea homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has distinct benefits that should not be ignored.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites can recognise the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of up to 5 years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants can often pass these chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Because the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a flow on result.

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

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 particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
