Remedy For Termite Infestation

In Australia it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Surry Hills every year, making termite treatment so essential.

Termite Removal & Prevention

Termite treatments change in terms of their aims and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are 2 main termite management strategies; attempting to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to make a barrier in between the termites and the structure to be protected. Call us today to learn more about the price of termite treatments.

Generally, in Surry Hills, termite specialists will use a chemical treatment as the preferred type management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some specific advantages and should be considered.

It is of great importance to engage the services of a specialist white ant exterminator to check over your residence in order that the damage can be fully assessed.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, so they provide good protection in treated locations. However, if not all areas can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and gain access via them.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites do not detect non repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight 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 the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the timber that they were eating until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

An entire colony may be destroyed in this manner, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

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 especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits Of A Termite Baiting System
