Prevention & Removal Against Termites

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight in Australia. Once they infest a home, termites can rapidly create a large amount of damage, making it vital to call your reliable Parramatta Holroyd termite prevention provider.

Termite Removal/Protection Processes

There are several treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are commonly used for termite management in Holroyd; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Call us today for more information on the price for termite treatment and management.

Chemical remedies are the more traditional strategy to kill termites in Holroyd homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct benefits which cannot be forgotten.

To ensure the job is carried out right, it’s essential to have a specialist white ant exterminator in to review the situation.

If you believe that your home or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Phone us to receive the help of the most experienced termite prevention team covering the Holroyd area. We can help you to make a knowledgeable decision about this vital service, and offer you a competitive price for treatment.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover these gaps and gain entry.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they won’t steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, termites will pass through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated areas, the chance of termite ingress through non-treated gaps is much lower.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a residual life of as many as eight years following treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the dwelling by placing bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they were attacking. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be exterminated, even if you don’t 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 are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a swelling can make it hard to have adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

How Problematic Can Termites Be?

If left untreated, even just one nest of white ants are capable of doing a surprising amount of damage. The dwelling may even become unlivable because of the severity of the issue, and in the extreme, can even be unrepairable.
