Termite Extermination & Pest Control

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Leichhardt each year, making termite extermination so vital.

Termite Control/Prevention Systems

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

Termite extermination in Leichhardt homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys can bring some distinct advantages that should not be ignored.

It is advantageous to engage the services of an experienced termite exterminator to check over your structures so the damage can be fully reviewed.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

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

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of up to five years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they will pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated areas, the potential of termite access via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

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

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to eliminate termites in the property, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, thus causing a compounding effect.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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.

In Ground Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting
