Termite Inspection Queens Park

Around Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can wreak a massive level of property damage each year. Due to their great capacity for destruction, residents of Queens Park Eastern Suburbs are encouraged to seek quality termite inspection services.

Termite Removal & Prevention

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies employed are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and extermination the termite colony entirely by baiting.

In Queens Park, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that shouldn’t be dismissed.

It’s important to first get a specialist white ant exterminator come out to the home to assess the situation.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection on treated areas. However, if the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can sense the breaks and once again access the home.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they won’t steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, termites pass through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites can’t detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain access via possible breaks.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire nest can be eliminated in this way, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar fashion, however they are usually installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
