Termite Prevention
Haberfield Inner West

Solution For Termite Infestation

Termite or white ant infestations are rather frequent around Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in Haberfield Inner West each year. That’s why termite prevention and removal is very important.

Termite Removal & Management

There are several types of termite situations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the professionals, they will likely to apply one of two general termite protection systems. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

In Haberfield, 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 ignored.

It is vital to have your termite situation examined by a professional pest controller to evaluate the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants will identify these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The regularly widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they will not steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, white ants will move through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated places, the chance for termite access via non-treated gaps is lower.

The often used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of as many as eight years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the building by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they are eating. This kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire nest can be eliminated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically installed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the building design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
