Termite Protection & Treatment

Termite or white ant infestations are quite common in Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in Queens Park Eastern Suburbs each year. That is why termite treatment and prevention is very important.

Termite Removal

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at each briefly. There’s two main strategies carried out for termite control: first is the complete eradication of the colony with baiting, and next is using chemical treatment to create a barrier between the building and the colony.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated places aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can identify these breaks and again access the home.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Since the termites do not identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain access via gaps.

The most common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the wood that they have been eating previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are more commonly placed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
