Termite Protection & Treatment

Termite or white ant infestations are rather common around Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in South Hurstville annually. That’s why termite pest control and inspection is very important.

Termite Control/Protection Processes

There are different kinds of termite infestations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the specialists, they are likely to apply one of two general termite management processes. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Typically, in South Hurstville, termite specialists use a chemical treatment as the preferred type removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some distinct advantages and should be considered.

It is important to call in a specialist termite exterminator to visit your home and assess the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants will often transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient effect.

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

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the wood they have been eating up to now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole nest can be eliminated even when the position of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are employed in a similar manner, but they are frequently installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
