Termite Extermination & Pest Control

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create untold levels of damage to buildings across Surry Hills on a yearly basis, creating a strong need for termite extermination.

Termite Control/Prevention Strategies

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are generally used for termite management in Surry Hills; either the production of a termite barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Contact us today for more info about the price for termite treatment and management.

Chemical treatments are the more standard treatment to kill white ants in Surry Hills homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has distinct benefits that should not be forgotten.

To ensure the job is done right, it is vital to have a specialist termite exterminator in to look at the situation.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for protection around treated areas. However, if the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can identify these gaps and access the house.

The regularly commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites do not detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress through gaps.

The common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been infesting 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 that bait to further colony members.

An entire nest may be destroyed in this manner, regardless of whether the position 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 white ant activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are typically installed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the dwelling design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection
• Not impacted by weather conditions
• Safe for use around children and pets
• Ecologically friendly

Signs That You Have Termites

There are many indications that your house has a termite infestation:

• Small holes found in drywall and/or wood
• Damaged & crumbling timber
• "Mud tubes" appearing on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Colonys or mounds below trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen flying around the colony

Can Termites Really Damage My Residence?

If left untreated, even just one colony of white ants are capable of doing an unexpected amount of damage. The house can even become unsafe because of the severity of the issue, and in the extreme, may be unrepairable.
