Remedy For Termite Infestation

Termite or white ant infestations are quite common within Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in Balgowlah Heights Northern Beaches each year. That is why termite protection and treatment is very important.

Termite Control & Protection

You can find different types of termite infestations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the pros, they are likely to apply one of two general termite prevention systems. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

In Balgowlah Heights, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that shouldn’t be ignored.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites will identify these gaps and could potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites can often transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, providing a flow on and efficient effect.

Since termites do not identify non repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated places, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

The most commonly used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat features a residual life of as many as eight years after treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings 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 termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire colony may be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are more commonly installed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the home design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
