Control & Removal Against Termites

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create untold quantities of damage to homes across Inner West each year, creating a strong requirement for termite control.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are numerous potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at each quickly. There’s two main management strategies conducted for termite control: one is the complete eradication of the colony with baiting, and second is with chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the house and the white ants. Call us today for additional information on the costs involved with various treatment options.

Typically, in Inner West, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred form removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some distinct advantages and should also be considered.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites will recognise these gaps and can potentially get in.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites may also transfer the chemicals on to other members in the colony, creating a compounding and efficient effect.

Because the termites do not detect non repellents, they won’t recognise treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

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

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a house will make it difficult to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
