Control & Inspection Against Termites

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in Rhodes annually, making termite control so crucial.

Managing & Removing Termites

You will find several types of termite infestations and so the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite management processes. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

As a general rule, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for white ant treatment in Rhodes. However, there are distinct advantages to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It’s important to call in an experienced termite exterminator to check out your premises and evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites may recognise the gaps and could potentially gain access.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most commonly used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a residual life of as many as eight years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood that they have been infesting up to now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

In this manner, the nest may be eliminated even though the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems may 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 intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe for use around kids and pets
• Environmentally friendly
