Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold amounts of damage to buildings throughout Claymore Campbelltown every year, creating a strong requirement for termite control.

Removing & Managing Termites

Termite treatments change regarding their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are two major termite management strategies; attempting to eliminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments which try to make a barrier in between the termites and the building to be protected.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites may identify these gaps and can potentially get in.

The often commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites can pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites can’t detect non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is much less likely.

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites then feed the bait to other members of the colony which creates a compounding effect.

In this way, the entire nest may be eliminated even though the position of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a swelling makes it challenging to install adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
