Removal & Protection Against Termites

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold levels of damage to houses in Sutherland Sutherland each year, creating a large requirement for termite removal.

Removing & Managing Termites

You will find several kinds of termite situations so the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the experts, 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 want to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

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

To ensure the job is done correctly, it’s advised to have a reliable white ant exterminator in to assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can identify the breaks and once again access the home.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

Because the termites can not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

The most commonly used non repellent option is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to erradicate termites in your property, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the wood. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding effect.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be exterminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are typically installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the residence design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

What Damage Can Termites Do?

If left untreated, even a single colony of white ants are capable of doing an unexpected amount of damage. The home can even become unusable as a result of the significance of the infestation, and in the extreme, may even be irreparable.
