Extermination & Treatment Against Termites

In Australia, termites are often referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can wreak a massive amount of property damage each year. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of Homebush Inner West are advised to seek reliable termite extermination services.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or locations can not be treated as a result of access issues, the white ants will identify the breaks and attain ingress through those areas.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants will also pass the chemicals on to other members of the colony, providing a flow on and efficient effect.

Since termites can not identify non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is much less likely.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to erradicate termites from your residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, creating a compounding result.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be exterminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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 are utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the residence design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.
