Termite Inspection & Treatment

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Coogee Eastern Suburbs every year, making termite inspection so vital.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at them quickly. There are two main strategies conducted for termite control: one is the total eradication of the colony with baiting, and the other is with chemical treatment to produce a barrier between the home and the white ants. Call us today to learn more about the costs associated with various treatment options.

White ant inspection in Coogee homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys can have some definate advantages that should not be ignored.

It is crucial to have the white ant situation checked out by a professional pest controller to assess the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can sense these gaps and once again access the property.

The often frequently utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can also transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to erradicate termites from your property, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, thus causing a flow on result.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be exterminated, even if you don’t 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.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically placed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the dwelling design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
