Termite Inspection & Protection

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight in Australia. When they infest a house, termites can rapidly cause a large amount of damage, making it important to call your reliable South West Sydney Lurnea termite inspection provider.

Termite Control/Prevention Processes

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at each quickly. There’s two main strategies performed for termite control: first is the total eradication of the colony with baiting, and next is using chemical treatment to make a barrier between the home and the termites. Call us today for more information about the costs involved with the various treatment options.

Generally, in Lurnea, termite experts will make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred type management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some distinct advantages and should be considered.

It is highly recommended to engage the services of a professional white ant exterminator to check over your residence so that the damage can be fully looked at.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites may identify these gaps and can potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will also transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Since the termites can’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain access through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which results in a flow on result.

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

In Ground Systems may 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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
