Protection & Removal Against Termites

White ant or termite infestations are quite common within Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Grays Point Sutherland annually. That is why termite protection and treatment is extremely important.

Managing & Removing Termites

Termite treatments vary with regards to their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. The two main termite management strategies; attempting to eliminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to make a barrier in between the termites and the structure to be protected. Call us today for additional information on the cost of termite protections.

In Grays Point, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ benefits that should not be ignored.

It is wise to first get a specialist termite exterminator visit the home to evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

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

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Because termites don’t identify non repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and thus access through possible gaps is limited.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this manner, the entire nest can be eliminated even though the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate place.

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

How Destructive Can Termites Be?

When left untreated, even a single colony of termites is capable of doing a surprising amount of damage. The home can even become unlivable as a result of the severity of the problem, and in the extreme, may be unrepairable.
