Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight in Australia. When they infest a property, termites can rapidly create a lot of damage, making it important to call your trusted St George Kogarah Bay termite pest control provider.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are commonly employed for termite management in Kogarah Bay; either the production of a termite barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites may recognise these gaps and can sometimes get in.

The most commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and they will not steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will pass over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual termites will pass the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated areas, the potential for termite ingress via untreated gaps is far lower.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of up to eight years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is frequently used to get rid of termites from the structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

An entire colony may be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed 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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
