Termite Pest Control & Inspection

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge levels of damage to buildings across Berala Parramatta each year, creating a strong requirement for termite pest control.

Termite Removal

There are several kinds of termite situations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the professionals, they are going to apply one of two general termite removal processes. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Typically, in Berala, termite experts will use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has distinct benefits and should also be considered.

It is wise to first get a specialist white ant exterminator visit the property to fully look at the situation.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites will recognise these gaps and could potentially gain access.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated locations, the possibility for termite ingress via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the structures they have been eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

In this manner, the entire nest can be eliminated even when the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

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.
