Bronte Eastern Suburbs

Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold quantities of damage to homes across Bronte Eastern Suburbs each year, creating a large need for termite protection.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at each briefly. There are two main strategies conducted for termite pest control: one is the complete eradication of the colony via baiting, and second is using chemical treatment to create a barrier between the house and the colony. Call us today to learn more about the costs involved with the various treatment options.

Termite protection in Bronte homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys can have some distinct advantages that can not be ignored.

It is advantageous to engage the services of an expert pest exterminator to check out your structures in order that the damage can be thoroughly assessed.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can sense the gaps and once again access the home.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non repellents, they don’t recognise treated and untreated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which creates a flow on effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly placed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the home design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.

Can Termites Badly Damage My Home?

When left untreated, even just one colony of white ants are capable of doing an unexpected amount of damage. The home may even become unsafe because of the significance of the problem, and in extreme cases, can even be unrepairable.
