Termite Inspection
Banksmeadow Eastern Suburbs

Remedy For Termite Infestation

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold amounts of damage to buildings across Banksmeadow Eastern Suburbs each year, creating a large requirement for termite inspection.

Termite Control & Protection

There are various kinds of termite situations so the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite management systems. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical remedies are the more traditional strategy to get rid of white ants in Banksmeadow homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has distinct advantages which should not be forgotten.

To make sure the job is carried out right, it is advised to have a specialist white ant exterminator in to look at the situation.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided, so they provide great protection in treated locations. If not all areas can be treated, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can identify those gaps and get access through them.

The often frequently applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Because the termites can not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain access via breaks.

The most common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a compounding effect.

In this fashion, the entire nest may be eliminated even though the location of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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