Termite Pest Control & Inspection

White ant or termite infestations are rather frequent in Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in Roselands South West Sydney annually. That’s why termite pest control and prevention is very important.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at them briefly. There’s two main management strategies carried out for termite control: one is the complete eradication of the colony with baiting, and second is with chemical treatment to create a barrier between the building and the colony. Call us today to find out more on the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Chemical treatments are the more typical treatment to eliminate termites in Roselands homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has some distinct advantages that cannot be forgotten.

It’s wise to first have a professional termite exterminator come out to the house to look at the situation.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided, so they provide good protection for treated locations. If not all locations are treated, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access through them once again.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites may also transfer the chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber that they were infesting until now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in locations where there is termite 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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Really Do?
