Termite Inspection
Eastern Suburbs

Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold amounts of damage to buildings in Eastern Suburbs on a yearly basis, creating a strong need for termite inspection.

Termite Control/Protection Systems

You will find several kinds of termite situations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the professionals, they are going to apply one of two general termite protection processes. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

In Eastern Suburbs, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ advantages that shouldn’t be ignored.

To ensure the job is done correctly, it is essential to get a specialist pest exterminator in to review the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection on treated areas. However, if the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can identify the breaks and again access the property.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and they will not steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, termites pass through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual insects pass the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated places, the potential of termite ingress through untreated gaps is much lower.

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

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your dwelling by placing bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they were attacking. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be eliminated, even if 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 can 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 catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
