White ant or termite infestations are quite frequent in Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many residences in Eveleigh Eastern Suburbs annually. That’s why termite protection and pest control is so important.

Termite Removal/Prevention Systems

Each situation is different, 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 eliminating the termite colony entirely by baiting. For additional details on what these treatments cost, give us a call today.

Typically, in Eveleigh, termite experts will use a chemical treatment as the preferred form removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some distinct advantages and should also be considered.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, which makes 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 covered, white ants may identify the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as five years and is a widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after contact with them. Additionally, termites can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is often used to eliminate termites from the residence, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest will 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.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar way, but they’re usually situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.
