Termite Treatment Hillsdale

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Hillsdale Eastern Suburbs every year, making termite treatment so important.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

There are various types of termite infestations and so the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the professionals, they will likely to apply one of two general termite removal systems. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

In Hillsdale, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that should not be dismissed.

It is essential to have the termite situation examined by a professional pest controller to assess the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can sense these breaks and again access the house.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus die after exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Since termites don’t identify non-repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is reduced.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent on the market, and features a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood that they have been eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Baiting Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
