Termite Prevention
Auburn Parramatta

Remedy For Termite Infestation

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge amounts of damage to buildings throughout Auburn Parramatta each year, creating a strong requirement for termite prevention.

Termite Control & Protection

There are several types of termite situations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the professionals, they are likely to apply one of two general termite removal processes. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical treatments are the more typical strategy to eliminate white ants in Auburn homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has some distinct benefits which should not be ignored.

It is vital to have your white ant situation examined by a professional pest controller to look at the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection in treated areas. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can recognise those gaps and get access via them once again.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Because termites do not identify non repellents, they will not recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood they were infesting until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

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

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