Treatment & Protection Against Termites

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight around Australia. When they infest a structure, termites can rapidly cause a considerable amount of damage, making it vital to call your reliable Eastern Suburbs Elizabeth Bay termite treatment provider.

Termite Control/Prevention Strategies

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are generally utilised for termite management in Elizabeth Bay; either the production of a termite barrier between the residence and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for more details on the cost for termite treatment and management.

Typically, in Elizabeth Bay, termite experts will use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has distinct advantages and should be considered.

It is important to engage the services of a professional pest exterminator to check over your property so the damage can be thoroughly reviewed.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor areas cannot be treated because of access issues, then termites can detect those gaps and gain access via those areas.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore causing a compounding effect.

As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

The entire nest can be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a structure makes it hard to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
