Termite Protection & Treatment

White ant or termite infestations are rather frequent around Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Mount Annan Campbelltown annually. That’s why termite extermination and treatment is extremely important.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let us take a look at them briefly. There are two main management strategies carried out for termite pest control: one is the complete eradication of the colony via baiting, and the other is with chemical treatment to make a barrier between the building and the termites.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection on treated places. However, if the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can identify the gaps and once again access the home.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so they do not avoid the chemical. As a result of this, termites go through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual termites will pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Since termites do not detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise treated and untreated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is reduced.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which creates a flow on effect.

In this way, the entire colony can be eliminated even when the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a building makes it hard to create effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
