Prevention & Protection Against Termites

White ant or termite infestations are quite frequent around Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in Glen Alpine Campbelltown each year. That’s why termite prevention and protection is so important.

Termite Removal/Protection Strategies

You can find several kinds of termite infestations and so the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the pros, they will likely to apply one of two general termite management processes. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Termite prevention in Glen Alpine homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys can bring some distinct benefits that cannot be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor places can’t be treated because of access problems, the white ants will identify the gaps and attain ingress via those areas.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

Since termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

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

In this way, the whole termite nest will be exterminated, 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 Baiting Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
