Inspection & Pest Control Against Termites

In Australia it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Auburn Parramatta annually, making termite inspection so essential.

Termite Removal

Each situation is unique, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies used are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and extermination the termite colony entirely by baiting. For more information on what these treatment methods cost, give us a call today.

In Auburn, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that shouldn’t be ignored.

It is crucial to have the termite situation examined by a professional bug exterminator to assess the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, so they provide excellent protection for treated areas. If not all locations are treated, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and get access through them.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they will go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

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

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a compounding result.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be exterminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a house makes it hard to install effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
