Termite or white ant infestations are quite common around Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in Kogarah St George annually. That’s why termite treatment and extermination is very important.

Termite Control/Protection Processes

You can find various types of termite infestations therefore the best treatments also vary. When you call in the professionals, they will likely to apply one of two general termite prevention processes. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can detect the gaps and again access the house.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Since termites can not detect non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to get rid of termites from the property, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the structure. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a flow on effect.

In this manner, the entire nest can be eliminated even when the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems may 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 stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
