Termite Treatment
Port Botany Eastern Suburbs

Remedy For Termite Infestation

Termite or white ant infestations are rather frequent within Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Port Botany Eastern Suburbs annually. That’s why termite treatment and control is extremely important.

Termite Removal & Prevention

Termite treatments vary in terms of their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two major termite management strategies; trying to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to create a barrier between the termites and the structure to be protected. Call us today for additional information on the price of termite treatments.

Generally, in Port Botany, termite specialists will use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has distinct advantages and should also be considered.

It’s important to first have a specialist termite exterminator visit the home to look at the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor some locations cannot be treated because of access issues, the termites can detect those gaps and gain ingress through them.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and they do not steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will pass over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual insects transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites don’t identify non repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is limited.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to get rid of termites from the structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore creating a compounding result.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be eliminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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.

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 particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
