Termite Prevention & Protection

Termite or white ant infestations are rather common in Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Ingleside Northern Beaches annually. That’s why termite prevention and removal is so important.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are commonly utilised for termite management in Ingleside; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Call us today for more information about the cost for termite treatment and management.

Termite prevention in Ingleside residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys can have some definate benefits that cannot be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to five years and is a widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and they will not avoid the treated areas. Because of this, white ants go over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites pass the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Because the termites do not detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The most commonly used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a residual life of as many as 8 years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures they have been eating 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 feed the bait to other colony members.

The entire colony can be eradicated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

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