Termite Control Birchgrove

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Birchgrove each year, making termite control so essential.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are several treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are generally employed for termite management in Birchgrove; either the production of a white ant barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Call us today for more information on the cost for termite treatment and management.

In Birchgrove, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that shouldn’t be dismissed.

To ensure the job is done right, it’s advised to get a specialist pest exterminator in to assess the situation.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection around treated areas. However, if the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can detect these breaks and again access the home.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Since termites can not detect non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire colony can be destroyed in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the dwelling design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Baiting System Advantages

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Not influenced by weather
• Safe for all the family including pets
• Ecologically Friendly

• Holes in timber panels or drywall
• Wood that is damaged and disintegrating
• The presence of mud tubes on the brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the building
• Trees in the area show signs of colonys & mounds
• Winged termites or alates can be seen swarming from the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?
