Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold levels of damage to buildings across Sutherland on a yearly basis, creating a strong need for termite treatment.

Termite Removal/Prevention Systems

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are typically used for termite management in Sutherland; either the production of a white ant barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Call us today for more details on the price for termite management and treatment.

Chemical remedies are a more standard treatment to kill termites in Sutherland homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has some distinct benefits which should not be ignored.

It’s important to call in an expert termite exterminator to check out your premises and evaluate the damage.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify these gaps and gain entry.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites can often transfer these chemicals on to other members in the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

Since termites don’t identify non repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the house by positioning bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been attacking. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be exterminated, even when you don’t 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.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a home will make it difficult to install effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Not influenced by weather
• No danger to children & pets
• Eco friendly

Common Indications Of A Termite Infestation

• Holes bored in timber panels or drywall
