Inspection & Prevention Against Termites

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in St George annually, making termite inspection so important.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are several treatments possible and each one has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are commonly used for termite management in St George; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection for treated locations. If not all locations are treated, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and get access through them.

The most commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

Since termites can’t identify non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is significantly less likely.

The common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your dwelling by placing bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they are eating. This kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be exterminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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.

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

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection
• Impervious to weather conditions
• No danger to children or pets
• Ecologically smart

The Telltale Signs Of Termite Infestation

There are several indications that your home has a white ant infestation:

• Minute holes in the drywall and/or timber
• Damaged & decaying timber
• Presence of mud tubes on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or under the floor
• Trees show signs of nests & mounds
• Alates (winged termites) flying from the colony
