Termite Treatment & Protection

In Australia it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Denham Court Campbelltown each year, making termite control so essential.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are several kinds of termite situations therefore the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the professionals, they are going to apply one of two general termite removal processes. This may 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 treatments are the more typical strategy to get rid of termites in Denham Court homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct benefits that should not be ignored.

It’s wise to first have a professional white ant exterminator visit the home to fully evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

The most widely used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they won’t stay away from the chemical. Because of this, white ants go through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual insects will pass the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Because termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

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

In this way, the entire termite nest can be erradicated, even when you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
