Treatment & Protection Against Termites

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight around Australia. When they infest a property, termites can rapidly cause a great deal of damage, making it essential to call your reliable Eastern Suburbs Redfern termite treatment provider.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

Termite treatments alter with regards to their goals and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are 2 main termite management strategies; trying to eradicate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that try to create a barrier in between the termites and the structure to be protected. Give us a call today for additional information on the cost of termite treatments.

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

It is vital to get in a specialist termite exterminator to visit your property and evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection in treated areas. However, if not all areas can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and get access via them.

The most frequently used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated places, the possibility for termite access via non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the structure by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they are eating. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

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

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are typically placed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the home design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
