Termite Control Marrickville

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge amounts of damage to properties in Marrickville Inner West annually, creating a large need for termite control.

Managing & Removing Termites

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. There are two strategies employed are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eliminating the termite colony entirely by baiting. For additional details on what these treatments cost, give us a call today.

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

It is important to first have a professional termite exterminator visit the property to fully assess the situation.

So you realise there is a termite problem and want the very best control available in Marrickville? Do you need to get a experienced termite control service in Marrickville? We can assist you to make an informed decision on the best options for your property in addition to providing competitive pricing.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection for treated areas. If not all locations can be treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can recognise the gaps and get access through them once again.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of up to 5 years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they don’t stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, termites go over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual termites transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Because the termites can’t detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to erradicate termites from your residence, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, thus causing a flow on result.

In this way, the entire nest can be eliminated even when the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

In-Ground Systems may 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 essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.

What Destruction Can Termites Do?

If left untreated, even a single nest of termites can do a surprising amount of damage. The structure may even become unusable as a result of the severity of the problem, and in the extreme, can be irreparable.
