Extermination & Inspection Against Termites

Termite or white ant infestations are quite frequent in Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in Hornsby each year. That is why termite extermination and inspection is so important.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access.

The often frequently utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites can pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated places, the chance for termite access through untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is regularly used to erradicate termites in your dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be erradicated, even if 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 Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection system
• Not afflicted with weather

• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on brickwork, wood, ceiling or sub floor
• Nests or mounds below trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying to the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Really Do?

In fact, even just one nest of termites can render a home unlivable if the problem is severe enough.
