Termite Removal & Management

There are several treatments possible and each one has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are generally utilised for termite management in Parramatta; either the production of a termite barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting.

Generally, in Parramatta, termite specialists use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has distinct advantages and should also be considered.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

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

The regularly commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because the termites can’t identify non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been infesting until recently. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a building makes it hard to create effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
