Treatment For Termite Infestation

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in South Granville annually, making termite protection so important.

Removing & Managing Termites

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 eradicating the termite colony entirely by baiting. For more information on what these treatment options cost, give us a call today.

Generally, in South Granville, termite experts will use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some distinct advantages and should be considered.

It is wise to first have a specialist white ant exterminator visit the building to fully look at the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

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

The most widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites will transfer these chemicals to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

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

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a structure, 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 timber they were eating up to now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

In this manner, the whole nest may be eliminated even when the location of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

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

Advantages OF Termite Baiting
