Termite Inspection & Control

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

Termite Removal

Termite treatments change with regards to their aims and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are 2 main termite management strategies; trying to eradicate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which try to produce a barrier between the termites and the structure to be protected. Contact us today to learn more about the cost of termite inspections.

Chemical treatments are the more standard treatment to get rid of termites in Enmore homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct benefits that cannot be ignored.

It’s important to first get a professional white ant exterminator visit the building to evaluate the situation.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants may recognise the gaps and could potentially get in.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is a widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Since the termites can’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from houses 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 return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this fashion, the entire colony can be eliminated even when the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate place.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are typically placed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the residence design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
