Termite Pest Control
Redfern Eastern Suburbs

Termite Pest Control & Protection

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge quantities of damage to buildings across Redfern Eastern Suburbs on a yearly basis, creating a strong requirement for termite pest control.

Termite Control/Protection Strategies

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. There are two strategies used are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and getting rid of the termite colony entirely by baiting. For additional details on what these treatment methods cost, give us a call today.

In Redfern, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that shouldn’t be dismissed.

It is important to first have a specialist termite exterminator come out to the building to fully assess the situation.

If you feel that your home or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Call us and receive the assistance of the best termite pest control team covering the Redfern area.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can identify these breaks and access the property.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites will often transfer these chemicals to other members of the colony, generating a compounding and efficient effect.

As termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a flow on effect.

In this way, the nest can be eliminated even though the location of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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 particularly vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

How Problematic Are Termites?

For such tiny individuals, a nest of termites (white ants) is capable of doing a great deal of damage to a house. If the problem becomes bad enough, the dwelling may potentially become unusable.
