Termite Prevention Sutherland

In Australia, termites are often referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a massive level of property damage annually. Due to their great capacity for destruction, residents of Sutherland are advised to seek reliable termite prevention services.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

You can find several kinds of termite infestations and hence the best treatments also vary. When you call in the pros, they will likely to apply one of two general termite prevention systems. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

In Sutherland, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that should not be dismissed.

It’s vital to get in a specialist termite exterminator to check out your home and evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants will recognise the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since termites can not identify non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

A widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the residence by positioning bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this manner, the nest can be eliminated even though the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
