Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge quantities of damage to homes across Sutherland Sutherland every year, creating a strong requirement for termite inspection.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are various kinds of termite situations and hence the best treatments also vary. When you call in the specialists, they are going to apply one of two general termite protection systems. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Typically, in Sutherland, termite experts will make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred type management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has specific advantages and should also be considered.

To make sure the job is done correctly, it is advised to get a trusted termite exterminator in to review the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection in treated areas. However, if not all areas are treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can identify the gaps and gain access through them.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as five years and is the most widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites may also transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, generating a compounding and efficient result.

Since the termites can not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain access via gaps.

The most common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to erradicate termites from the structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in locations where there is termite activity.

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