Termite Inspection & Prevention

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge amounts of damage to properties in Kingsgrove St George annually, creating a strong requirement for termite inspection.

Termite Removal & Prevention

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at each briefly. There’s two main strategies performed for termite control: one is the total eradication of the colony with baiting, and the other is with chemical treatments to create a barrier between the building and the colony. Contact us today for additional information on the costs associated with the various treatment options.

In Kingsgrove, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that should not be dismissed.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor some areas cannot be treated as a result of access issues, the white ants will identify the breaks and attain ingress via them.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Because the termites can’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the wood that they were eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be eliminated, even when 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.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
