Termite Inspection Greenacre

Termite or white ant infestations are quite common around Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in Greenacre South West Sydney annually. That is why termite inspection and removal is extremely important.

Termite Removal

Termite treatments change with regards to their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are two major termite management strategies; attempting to eliminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to make a barrier between the termites and the building to be protected. Contact us today for additional information on the price of termite inspections.

Chemical treatments are a more standard treatment to get rid of white ants in Greenacre homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has some distinct benefits that should not be ignored.

It is vital to call in an expert termite exterminator to check out your property and assess the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants will recognise the gaps and can potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and they won’t avoid the treated areas. Because of this, termites will go over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since termites can’t identify non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is significantly less likely.

The frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a flow on result.

In this way, the nest can be eliminated even though the position of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another area.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are typically installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the house design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
