Control & Inspection Against Termites

In Australia, termites are often referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can wreak a significant level of property damage each year. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of Botany Eastern Suburbs are advised to find quality termite control services.

Termite Removal

You can find various kinds of termite infestations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the pros, they are likely to apply one of two general termite management systems. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

White ant control in Botany residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, baiting and interception to eradicate the termite colonys can have some definate advantages that should not be ignored.

It is essential to have your white ant situation checked out by a professional pest controller to evaluate the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can detect these breaks and again access the property.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated areas, the chance for termite ingress through untreated gaps is much lower.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is regularly used to eliminate termites from your structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

An entire nest may be destroyed in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the nest 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 termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

What Damage Can Termites Do?

For such tiny individuals, a nest of termites (white ants) is capable of doing a great deal of damage to a building. If the infestation becomes severe enough, the structure may potentially become unusable.
