Inspection & Extermination Against Termites

Around Australia, termites are often referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a massive amount of property damage annually. Because of the great capacity for destruction, residents of Erskineville Inner West are encouraged to seek quality termite inspection services.

Termite Control & Protection

Termite treatments alter regarding their goals and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are two main termite management strategies; attempting to eradicate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to create a barrier in between the termites and the structure being protected.

In Erskineville, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that should not be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover these gaps and gain ingress.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

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

Because termites do not identify non-repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is limited.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber that they were infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, but they’re frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.
