Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold quantities of damage to properties across Sandingham on a yearly basis, creating a large requirement for termite protection.

Termite Removal

Termite treatments change in terms of their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two major termite management strategies; attempting to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to produce a barrier in between the termites and the structure to be protected. Phone us today for additional information on the price of termite protections.

Generally, in Sandingham, termite specialists 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 also be considered.

It is necessary to have your termite situation examined by a professional pest controller to evaluate the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can sense the gaps and again access the home.

The most frequently used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire nest may be eliminated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of A Termite Baiting System
