Clovelly Eastern Suburbs

Inspection & Treatment Against Termites

Termite or white ant infestations are quite common within Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Clovelly Eastern Suburbs annually. That is why termite inspection and treatment is essential.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

There are several types of termite situations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the specialists, they will likely to apply one of two general termite removal processes. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical treatments are the more standard strategy to eliminate termites in Clovelly homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has some distinct benefits which cannot be forgotten.

To ensure the job is carried out correctly, it’s advised to have a reliable termite exterminator in to assess the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can detect the gaps and once again access the building.

The often commonly applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they will go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

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

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the building by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been attacking. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be exterminated, even when you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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 Systems may 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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
