Termite Protection & Treatment

Termite or white ant infestations are quite common within Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Mona Vale annually. That’s why termite prevention and inspection is extremely important.

Termite Removal

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies employed are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eliminating the termite colony entirely by baiting. For more information on what these treatment options cost, give us a call now.

In Mona Vale, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that should not be ignored.

It is wise to first have a specialist white ant exterminator come out to the home to fully evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can detect the breaks and access the home.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated areas, the potential for termite access through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

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

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this way, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
