Treatment For Termite Infestation

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold levels of damage to houses across Greystanes Parramatta each year, creating a large requirement for termite prevention.

Termite Control/Prevention Strategies

There are different types of termite situations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the specialists, they are going to apply one of two general termite removal strategies. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical remedies are the more typical strategy to eliminate termites in Greystanes homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct advantages that should not be forgotten.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can sense these breaks and access the property.

The regularly frequently used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a compounding result.

Because termites do not identify non repellents, they do not recognise treated and untreated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
