Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge quantities of damage to homes throughout Bardwell Park St George every year, creating a large need for termite protection.
Termite Removal/Protection Strategies
There are several treatments possible and each one has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are generally used for termite management in Bardwell Park; either the creation of a termite barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Call us today for more information on the price for termite treatment and management.
Typically, in Bardwell Park, termite specialists will use a chemical treatment as the preferred method removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has specific benefits and should be considered.
It’s wise to first have a professional white ant exterminator visit the home to look at the damage.

Repelling Chemicals
Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some areas cannot be treated because of access problems, the termites can identify those breaks and gain ingress via those areas.
The regularly commonly utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.
Non Repelling Chemicals
Non repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they do not steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, termites will go through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual insects transfer the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.
Since the termites can not detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.
The most common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to eight years.
Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.
An entire nest can be eradicated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.
An In-Ground System is used in a similar way, but they are frequently installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
