Termite Protection & Removal

In Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can wreak a massive amount of property damage every year. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of Hurlstone Park Inner West are advised to find quality termite protection services.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

Termite treatments change regarding their aims and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two main termite management strategies; trying to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to create a barrier between the termites and the structure to be protected. Call us today for additional information on the cost of termite protections.

Generally, in Hurlstone Park, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred type removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has distinct benefits and should also be considered.

It is vital to have the termite situation checked out by a professional pest controller to assess the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor some places can not be treated due to access difficulties, the termites will identify the gaps and gain access through those areas.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and they will not steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will go over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual insects pass the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not detect non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is reduced.

The frequently used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat features a residual life of up to 8 years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that 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 feed that bait to other colony members.

The entire nest can be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of whether the location 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 observed white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a house will make it challenging to install effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
