Termite Control & Removal

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge levels of damage to houses across Enfield Inner West every year, creating a large requirement for termite control.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

You will find various types of termite infestations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the specialists, they will likely to apply one of two general termite protection processes. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

In Enfield, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ benefits that should not be ignored.

It is advantageous to engage the services of a specialist pest exterminator to check over your property in order that the damage can be fully reviewed.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection in treated locations. If not all areas can be treated, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can identify the gaps and get access through them.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and so they don’t steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, white ants move through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites do not identify non repellents, they don’t recognise treated and untreated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is limited.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the structures they have been eating up to now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be erradicated, even when you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly placed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
