Termite Prevention & Control

White ant or termite infestations are quite common in Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many residences in Ingleburn Campbelltown annually. That is why termite prevention and removal is extremely important.

Termite Removal & Management

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are typically utilised for termite management in Ingleburn; either the production of a white ant barrier between the residence and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting.

Chemical treatments are a more traditional strategy to eliminate termites in Ingleburn homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct advantages which should not be ignored.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated places aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can identify these gaps and access the house.

The often widely used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore causing a compounding effect.

Because termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the structure by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they were eating. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the nest can be eliminated even when the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
