Termite Prevention & Inspection

Around Australia, termites are often referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a significant amount of property damage every year. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of Holroyd Parramatta are encouraged to find reliable termite prevention services.

Termite Removal/Protection Strategies

You will find different kinds of termite infestations so the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the specialists, they will likely to apply one of two general termite management strategies. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Termite prevention in Holroyd residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, interception and baiting to eradicate the termite colonys may have some distinct benefits that can not be ignored.

It is highly recommended to engage the services of a specialist termite exterminator to check over your house so that the damage can be thoroughly assessed.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise these gaps and gain entry.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because the termites don’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

The regularly applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a house by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they are eating. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this manner, the nest may be eliminated even when the location of the nest is not 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.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.
