Treatment & Pest Control Against Termites

White ant or termite infestations are rather common around Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in Northmead Parramatta each year. That is why termite treatment and protection is so important.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at them briefly. There are two main strategies performed for termite control: one is the total eradication of the colony via baiting, and the other is with chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the building and the white ants. Contact us today to find out more about the costs involved with the various treatment options.

In Northmead, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ benefits that should not be dismissed.

It is advantageous to engage the expertise of a specialist termite exterminator to look at your structures in order that the damage can be fully reviewed.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover the gaps and gain ingress.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and so they will not avoid the chemical. Because of this, termites go over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual termites will transfer the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

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

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a home by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been eating. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire colony may be exterminated in this manner, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a house can make it challenging to install effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

What Destruction Can Termites Cause?

When left untreated, even a single nest of white ants is capable of doing a surprising amount of damage. The structure can even become unlivable because of the severity of the issue, and in the extreme, may even be unrepairable.
