Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create untold levels of damage to buildings across Elanora Heights annually, creating a strong need for termite removal.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are various kinds of termite situations so the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the experts, they will 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 want to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical remedies are a more typical strategy to get rid of white ants in Elanora Heights homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has distinct benefits which should not be forgotten.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor areas can not be treated as a result of access difficulties, the termites may detect those gaps and gain ingress via them.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the structures that they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

The entire colony can be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
