Termite Control & Prevention

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create untold quantities of damage to buildings in Merrylands West Parramatta every year, creating a large requirement for termite control.

Termite Control/Prevention Systems

There are numerous potential treatments for termites, so let us have alook at each briefly. There are two main strategies performed for termite pest control: one is the complete eradication of the colony through baiting, and second is using chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the house and the white ants. Contact us today for additional information about the costs associated with the various treatment options.

As a general rule, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in Merrylands West. However, there are several advantages to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants will recognise the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as 5 years and is a commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from structures 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 return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be erradicated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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 can 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 stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
