Termite Protection & Treatment

Around Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can wreak a significant amount of property damage annually. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of Zetland Eastern Suburbs are encouraged to seek quality termite control services.

Termite Removal/Prevention Strategies

There are several treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are typically utilised for termite management in Zetland; either the creation of a termite barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Call us today for more details on the cost for termite treatment and management.

Chemical remedies are a more typical strategy to kill white ants in Zetland homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has distinct advantages which cannot be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for protection on treated areas. However, if the treated places are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can sense these breaks and once again access the house.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding effect.

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

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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 can 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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
