Termite Treatment & Protection

White ant or termite infestations are quite common around Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Phillip Bay Eastern Suburbs each year. That’s why termite pest control and prevention is very important.

Termite Removal & Management

Termite treatments change regarding their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two main termite management strategies; attempting to eliminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that try to make a barrier in between the termites and the structure being protected.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

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

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

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

Since termites can not identify non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the location of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
