Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge levels of damage to homes across Manly Vale Northern Beaches every year, creating a strong need for termite inspection.

Termite Removal & Prevention

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at each briefly. There’s two main management strategies performed for termite control: first is the total eradication of the colony through baiting, and the other is with chemical treatments to make a barrier between the home and the termites. Call us today for additional information on the costs involved with various treatment options.

Chemical remedies are the more standard treatment to eliminate white ants in Manly Vale homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct advantages which cannot be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor some areas can’t be treated due to access issues, the white ants will detect the gaps and gain ingress through those areas.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is the most widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they will move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated locations, the potential of termite access via untreated gaps is far lower.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the structures that they were infesting until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony 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 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 particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Can Termites Badly Damage My Property?

When left untreated, even just one nest of termites are capable of doing an unexpected amount of destruction.
