Control & Protection Against Termites

White ant or termite infestations are quite frequent within Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in Eastgardens Eastern Suburbs each year. That is why termite control and treatment is so important.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are different kinds of termite infestations therefore the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the specialists, they are likely to apply one of two general termite removal strategies. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

In Eastgardens, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that shouldn’t be dismissed.

It is important to first get a professional white ant exterminator come out to the building to fully evaluate the situation.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites will recognise the gaps and could sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a building by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they are eating. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow 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 so they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

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