Protection & Inspection Against Termites

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge amounts of damage to properties in Wentworthville annually, creating a strong need for termite protection.

Termite Control/Prevention Systems

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at them quickly. There are two main management strategies performed for termite control: one is the total eradication of the colony through baiting, and next is using chemical treatments to make a barrier between the residence and the colony. Contact us today for additional information about the costs associated with various treatment options.

Termite protection in Wentworthville residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, baiting and interception to eradicate the termite colonys may bring some definate advantages that cannot be ignored.

It’s wise to first get a professional white ant exterminator visit the house to fully evaluate the situation.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is the most widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus causing a flow on result.

Since termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is much less likely.

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

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the wood they were eating up to 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.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this way, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the dwelling design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
