Termite Protection & Treatment

Termite or white ant infestations are quite common in Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Kentlyn Campbelltown annually. That’s why termite extermination and treatment is very important.

Termite Removal

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are commonly used for termite management in Kentlyn; either the production of a termite barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting.

In Kentlyn, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that should not be ignored.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or places can’t be treated as a result of access difficulties, then termites can detect the breaks and attain access through those areas.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as many as 5 years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since the termites can’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is regularly used to get rid of termites from your home, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a compounding effect.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in positions where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are typically installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the home design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
