Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight in Australia. Once they infest a structure, termites can rapidly create a considerable amount of damage, making it crucial to call your reliable Parramatta Westmead termite removal provider.

Termite Control/Prevention Strategies

There are several treatments possible and each one has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are typically employed for termite management in Westmead; either the production of a white ant barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Call us today for more details on the cost for termite treatment and management.

For the most part, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for white ant treatment in Westmead. However, there are several advantages to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It’s important to bring in an experienced termite exterminator to check out your premises and assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain entry.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites don’t detect non repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to eliminate termites in your residence, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be erradicated, even if you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a building can make it tricky to have effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
