Termite Control
Enmore Inner West

Termite Protection & Treatment

White ant or termite infestations are quite common around Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in Enmore Inner West annually. That’s why termite control and inspection is very important.

Managing & Removing Termites

Each situation is unique, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies used are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and getting rid of the termite colony entirely by baiting. To learn more about what these treatment methods cost, give us a call today.

Chemical remedies are a more standard treatment to kill white ants in Enmore homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct advantages that should not be ignored.

It’s wise to first get a professional termite exterminator visit the property to fully evaluate the damage.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided. So they provide excellent protection in treated areas. However, if not all locations are treated, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and get access via them.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Because the termites do not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. These termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which produces a flow on effect.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the dwelling design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
