Termite Prevention & Control

Termite or white ant infestations are rather common in Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many residences in Forest Lodge Inner West each year. That is why termite prevention and treatment is extremely important.

Termite Removal

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are generally used for termite management in Forest Lodge; either the creation of a termite barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Call us today for more info about the price for termite management and treatment.

Typically, in Forest Lodge, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred type management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some distinct advantages and should also be considered.

It is wise to first get a specialist termite exterminator visit the house to fully look at the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor areas can not be treated because of access difficulties, then termites can identify the breaks and gain access via them.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites will often transfer these chemicals on to other members in the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

Because the termites don’t detect non repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is reduced.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a residence by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they are eating. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in positions where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are more commonly situated around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the house design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
