Cure For Termite Infestation

In Australia it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in South Granville Parramatta each year, making termite inspection so crucial.

Termite Removal & Prevention

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies employed are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eliminating the termite colony entirely by baiting.

White ant inspection in South Granville homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, interception and baiting to eradicate the termite colonys can bring some distinct advantages that can not be ignored.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites may recognise the gaps and could potentially gain access.

The most commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they will pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is restricted.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite nest 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.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
