Extermination & Treatment Against Termites

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold quantities of damage to properties across Inner West each year, creating a strong need for termite extermination.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

You will find different types of termite infestations therefore the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the experts, they will likely to apply one of two general termite removal 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 termite colony with baiting techniques.

Termite extermination in Inner West residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys may bring some distinct benefits that can not be ignored.

It is necessary to have the termite situation examined by a professional pest controller to look at the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for protection on treated places. However, if the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can sense the gaps and again access the house.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites may often transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, generating a compounding and efficient effect.

Since termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is a lot less likely.

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

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

The entire nest can be exterminated in this manner, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for all the family including pets
