Termite Control & Treatment

In Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can wreak a massive level of property damage every year. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of Regents Park Parramatta are encouraged to seek quality termite control services.

Termite Control/Protection Strategies

Termite treatments alter with regards to their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are two major termite management strategies; attempting to eradicate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to create a barrier in between the termites and the structure being protected. Phone us today for additional information on the price of termite controls.

Generally, in Regents Park, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred form management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has distinct benefits and should be considered.

It is wise to first get a specialist white ant exterminator come out to the home to fully evaluate the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites cannot detect non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the structure. These termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a flow on effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

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