Termite Prevention & Inspection

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge amounts of damage to houses in Kensington every year, creating a large requirement for termite prevention.

There are different types of termite situations therefore the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the specialists, they are going to apply one of two general termite protection systems. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

For the most part, chemical remedies the most commonly used management strategy for white ant treatment in Kensington. Nevertheless, there are distinct benefits to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites will recognise the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. These termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which results in a compounding effect.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be exterminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly placed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the home design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection
• Unaffected by weather
• Safe for children and pets
• Environmentally smart
