Termite Control & Inspection

White ant or termite infestations are rather common in Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in Phillip Bay Eastern Suburbs annually. That is why termite control and protection is very important.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are several treatments possible and each has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are generally employed for termite management in Phillip Bay; either the production of a white ant barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting.

Typically, in Phillip Bay, termite specialists will use a chemical treatment as the preferred form control strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some distinct benefits and should be considered.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can also pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites can not detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing 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 feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, even when you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

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