Termite Inspection
Coogee Eastern Suburbs

Termite Protection & Treatment

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

Termite Removal/Prevention Strategies

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let us have alook at each briefly. There are two main strategies conducted for termite pest control: one is the total eradication of the colony through baiting, and the other is using chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the home and the white ants. Contact us today to learn more on the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Typically, in Coogee, termite specialists will make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred kind removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has distinct advantages and should be considered.

It is important to bring in an expert termite exterminator to visit your property and assess the damage.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor areas can not be treated as a result of access problems, the termites can identify those gaps and attain ingress via them.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Because the termites can’t detect non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this manner, the nest may be eliminated even though the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar fashion, but they’re frequently placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.
