Inspection & Control Against Termites

In Australia it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Newtown each year, making termite inspection so crucial.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are commonly employed for termite management in Newtown; either the production of a white ant barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for more info about the cost for termite treatment and management.

Typically, in Newtown, termite specialists will use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind control strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some distinct advantages and should also be considered.

It is crucial to have the termite situation checked out by a professional bug exterminator to evaluate the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and so they do not avoid the chemical. As a result of this, termites will go over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual termites transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent option is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as eight years following treatment.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning 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 feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the nest may be eliminated even when the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are usually 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 Systems

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection
• Unimpacted by weather
• Safe for use around kids and pets
• Ecologically Smart
