Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge levels of damage to homes across Potts Point annually, creating a strong need for termite control.

Termite Removal/Protection Systems

You will find several kinds of termite situations so the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the professionals, they are likely to apply one of two general termite management systems. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical remedies are a more standard treatment to get rid of termites in Potts Point homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has some distinct benefits that should not be ignored.

It is necessary to have the termite situation checked out by a professional pest controller to look at the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection on treated places. However, if the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can sense these gaps and access the house.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites do not detect non-repellents, they do not recognise treated and untreated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is reduced.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to erradicate termites in your home, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore creating a flow on result.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be eliminated, even though you don’t 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 employed in a similar manner, however they are frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.

• Safe to use around kids and pets
