Pest Control & Prevention Against Termites

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight in Australia. When they infest a structure, termites can rapidly cause a great deal of damage, making it essential to call your trusted Parramatta Toongabbie termite pest control provider.

Termite Removal

Termite treatments change regarding their goals and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are two major termite management strategies; attempting to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to produce a barrier between the termites and the structure being protected.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites can often transfer the chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

Since termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

The regularly common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your house by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they are attacking. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

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.

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 especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
