Inspection & Treatment Against Termites

In Australia, termites are frequently called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a significant level of property damage each year. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of Potts Point Eastern Suburbs are advised to seek quality termite inspection services.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are several treatments possible and each one has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are typically employed for termite management in Potts Point; either the production of a termite barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Contact us today for more information on the cost for termite treatment and management.

Typically, in Potts Point, termite specialists use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some specific benefits and should be considered.

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

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise these gaps and gain access.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus die after contact with them. Additionally, termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites can not identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent on the market, and features a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to get rid of termites from the home, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the wood. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, thus causing a compounding result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this way, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are employed in a similar way, however they are frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
