Control & Treatment Against Termites

Around Australia, termites are frequently called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can wreak a significant amount of property damage each year. Due to their great capacity for destruction, residents of Balmain are advised to find reliable termite control services.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are typically used for termite management in Balmain; either the creation of a termite barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for additional information on the cost for termite treatment and management.

White ant control in Balmain residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys may have some distinct advantages that should not be ignored.

It is highly recommended to engage the services of a specialist pest exterminator to check over your property so that the damage can be fully assessed.

If you feel that your home or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Give us a call to receive the advice of the best termite control team covering the Balmain area. We will help you to make a well informed decision about this important service, and offer you a competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection in treated areas. If not all areas are treated, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can identify those gaps and gain access through them once again.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not identify non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as eight years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not influenced by weather conditions
• No danger to kids or pets
• Environmentally Friendly

How You Can Tell If Your Home Is Infested With Termites

Here are the common signs you have a termite infestation:

• Wood in the building has holes
• Timber is disintegrating or damaged
• "Mud tubes" appear on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Trees show signs of colonys & mounds
• Winged termites (or alates) may be noticed leaving the nest
