Termite Inspection & Pest Control

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge levels of damage to homes throughout Eastgardens Eastern Suburbs on a yearly basis, creating a strong need for termite inspection.

Termite Removal

Termite treatments alter in terms of their aims and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are two major termite management strategies; trying to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that try to produce a barrier in between the termites and the building to be protected. Give us a call today for additional info on the cost of termite inspections.

Chemical treatments are the more typical strategy to eliminate termites in Eastgardens homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has some distinct advantages which should not be ignored.

It’s vital to call in a professional termite exterminator to visit your home and evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise these gaps and gain access.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they won’t steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, termites go through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not identify non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the residence design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.
