Termite Treatment & Pest Control

Termite or white ant infestations are quite frequent within Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in Enfield Inner West each year. That’s why termite treatment and extermination is so important.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

There are several treatments possible and each one has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are generally employed for termite management in Enfield; either the production of a termite barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Call us today for more details about the price for termite management and treatment.

For the most part, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for white ant treatment in Enfield. However, there are distinct benefits to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It’s important to first get a specialist white ant exterminator come out to the building to fully evaluate the situation.

If you believe that your home or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Phone us and get the assistance of the best termite treatment team covering the Enfield area. We can assist you to make a well informed decision on this vital service, and offer you a very competitive price for treatment.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection for treated areas. However, if not all locations can be treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can identify the gaps and gain access via them.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites do not detect non-repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated places, and thus access through possible gaps is reduced.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the structures they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

In this fashion, the colony can be eliminated even though the position of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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