Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge amounts of damage to buildings in Paddington on a yearly basis, creating a large need for termite treatment.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

Termite treatments vary regarding their goals and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are two major termite management strategies; trying to eradicate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that try to make a barrier in between the termites and the building being protected. Call us today for additional information on the cost of termite treatments.

Generally, in Paddington, termite experts will use a chemical treatment as the preferred method removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has distinct benefits and should also be considered.

It is important to engage the expertise of an experienced termite exterminator to look at your house so the damage can be fully reviewed.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated places are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and again access the house.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus causing a flow on effect.

Because the termites do not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain access through possible gaps.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Advantages

• Flexible protection system
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• No danger for children & pets
• Eco-friendly
