Treatment For Termite Infestation

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold levels of damage to buildings in Double Bay Eastern Suburbs on a yearly basis, creating a large need for termite treatment.

There are several treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are typically used for termite management in Double Bay; either the production of a termite barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or places can’t be treated due to access difficulties, then termites can detect the gaps and attain ingress through them.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and they won’t avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants go through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated places, the chance of termite access through untreated gaps is much lower.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your structure by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they are eating. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

Ongoing 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.

In Ground Systems can 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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
