Termite Extermination
Merrylands West Parramatta

Termite Protection & Treatment

In Australia, termites are frequently referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can wreak a massive amount of property damage annually. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of Merrylands West Parramatta are advised to seek quality termite extermination services.

Termite Removal

There are several types of termite infestations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the pros, they are likely to apply one of two general termite protection strategies. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

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

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection on treated areas. However, if the treated places are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can detect the breaks and access the home.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus causing a flow on effect.

As termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent available today, and features a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites then feed the bait to other members of the colony which produces a compounding result.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are typically placed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the house design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
