Termite Inspection & Removal

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold quantities of damage to houses across Menai every year, creating a large requirement for termite inspection.

Termite Removal/Protection Systems

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at each briefly. There’s two main strategies conducted for termite pest control: first is the total eradication of the colony through baiting, and next is using chemical treatments to create a barrier between the home and the colony.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection around treated areas. However, if the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and access the house.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and they won’t steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, termites pass through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual termites will transfer the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Because the termites don’t identify non repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is restricted.

The frequently used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of up to 8 years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a building by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been attacking. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this manner, the whole colony may be eliminated even when the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
