Termite Protection & Treatment

White ant or termite infestations are quite frequent within Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in Collaroy each year. That is why termite removal and protection is extremely important.

Termite Control/Prevention Systems

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

White ant removal in Collaroy residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, baiting and interception to eradicate the termite colonys can have some definate advantages that can not be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify these gaps and gain ingress.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

As termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes 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 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 termite activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar way, however they are usually placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the property can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not influenced by weather
• No danger for children & pets
• Ecologically sound
