Regents Park Parramatta

Protection & Prevention Against Termites

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold amounts of damage to properties across Regents Park Parramatta every year, creating a large requirement for termite protection.

Termite Control & Protection

Each situation is unique, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies used are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and extermination the termite colony entirely by baiting. For additional details on what these treatments cost, give us a call today.

As a general rule, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for white ant treatment in Regents Park. However, there are distinct benefits to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

To ensure the job is done right, it’s crucial to get a reliable termite exterminator in to look at the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites can identify these gaps and can sometimes get in.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of up to 5 years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber that they were infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
