Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight in Australia. When they infest a home, termites can rapidly cause a great deal of damage, making it crucial to call your trusted Sutherland Heathcote termite inspection provider.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let us have alook at each briefly. There are two main strategies carried out for termite pest control: first is the total eradication of the colony with baiting, and second is using chemical treatment to create a barrier between the home and the colony. Call us today for more information on the costs involved with various treatment options.

Termite inspection in Heathcote homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys may bring some definate advantages that should not be ignored.

It’s vital to bring in an expert termite exterminator to visit your property and evaluate the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or places can’t be treated due to access problems, the termites can detect the breaks and gain access via them.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after contact with them. In addition, individual termites can transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated locations, the chance of termite ingress via untreated gaps is lower.

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

Understanding Various 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 enticing the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the colony which creates a compounding result.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in positions where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are more commonly situated around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the building design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
