Termite Treatment & Protection

Termite or white ant infestations are rather common in Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in Kings Cross each year. That is why termite prevention and extermination is essential.

Termite Removal/Protection Processes

Each situation is unique, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies utilised are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and extermination the termite colony entirely by baiting. For more information on what these treatment methods cost, give us a call today.

Chemical treatments are the more standard treatment to kill white ants in Kings Cross homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has some distinct benefits that cannot be forgotten.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection around treated areas. However, if the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can identify the gaps and again access the home.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore causing a compounding result.

Because the termites do not identify non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The regularly applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the colony which creates a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be erradicated, even if you do not 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 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.

Baiting System Benefits

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection system
• Not impacted by weather
• Safe to use around kids and pets
• Eco friendly
