Termite Treatment & Protection

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Darlington every year, making termite protection so essential.

Termite Control/Prevention Processes

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are generally employed for termite management in Darlington; either the creation of a termite barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Call us today for additional information about the cost for termite management and treatment.

Chemical treatments are a more typical strategy to eliminate termites in Darlington homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct advantages which should not be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants will identify the gaps and could sometimes get in.

The often frequently utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants may often pass these chemicals to other members in the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

As termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The often common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the timber they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a home can make it hard to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems
