Termite Inspection

Termite Treatment & Protection

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

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided, they provide good protection in treated locations. If not all areas are treated, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can recognise those gaps and get access through them.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since termites don’t identify non repellents, they will not recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is restricted.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a flow on result.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in positions where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, but they are usually installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. These systems are useful when the design of the home may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
