Termite Protection Inner West

White ant or termite infestations are quite common in Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in Inner West each year. That is why termite protection and inspection is so important.

Each situation is unique, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies used are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eradicating the termite colony entirely by baiting. For additional details on what these treatments cost, give us a call now.

Typically, in Inner West, termite specialists will use a chemical treatment as the preferred type management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some specific advantages and should be considered.

To make sure the job is carried out right, it is crucial to get a specialist termite exterminator in to review the damage.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or locations cannot be treated due to access difficulties, the termites will identify the gaps and gain access via those areas.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and they do not steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, white ants move through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual termites will transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a flow on result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated places, the chance for termite ingress through non-treated gaps is lower.

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from buildings 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 white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

How Destructive Can Termites Be?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of termites (white ants) is capable of causing significant amounts of damage to a dwelling. If the infestation becomes severe enough, your structure could become unusable.
