Control & Inspection Against Termites

In Australia, termites are frequently referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can cause a massive amount of property damage each year. Due to their great capacity for destruction, residents of Burwood Inner West are encouraged to seek reliable termite control services.

Termite Control & Protection

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let us have alook at each briefly. There’s two main management strategies carried out for termite pest control: one is the total eradication of the colony with baiting, and next is using chemical treatments to make a barrier between the home and the white ants. Call us today for additional information about the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Typically, chemical remedies the most commonly used management strategy for white ant treatment in Burwood. Nevertheless, there are several advantages to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It’s wise to first get a specialist white ant exterminator come out to the building to fully look at the situation.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some areas cannot be treated as a result of access difficulties, the termites will detect those gaps and gain ingress through those areas.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have contact with them. In addition, termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since termites don’t identify non repellents, they don’t recognise treated and untreated places, and thus access via possible gaps is limited.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a building by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this manner, the nest can be eliminated even though the position of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another area.

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 particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Really Do?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of termites (white ants) can do a great deal of damage to a dwelling. If the infestation becomes serious enough, your structure could potentially become unsafe.
