Termite Pest Control & Protection

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold amounts of damage to buildings throughout Cabarita Inner West each year, creating a strong need for termite pest control.

Termite Control/Protection Systems

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let us look at each quickly. There’s two main strategies performed for termite pest control: one is the total eradication of the colony with baiting, and the other is with chemical treatments to create a barrier between the building and the colony. Contact us today for additional information about the costs involved with various treatment options.

In Cabarita, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ advantages that shouldn’t be dismissed.

It’s important to first have a specialist white ant exterminator visit the building to assess the damage.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection around treated places. However, if the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and access the property.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can also pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the structures they were infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

An entire colony may be eradicated in this way, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.

How Problematic Are Termites?
