Termite Inspection & Pest Control

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight around Australia. When they infest a property, termites can rapidly create a lot of damage, making it crucial to call your trusted Cheltenham termite inspection provider.

Termite Control & Protection

You can find several types of termite infestations so the best treatments also vary. When you call in the professionals, they are going to apply one of two general termite prevention strategies. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

In Cheltenham, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ advantages that shouldn’t be ignored.

It’s wise to first get a professional white ant exterminator come out to the property to fully look at the situation.

So you realise there is a termite problem and need the most effective inspection on offer in Cheltenham? Do you need to find a experienced termite inspection service in Cheltenham?

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided, they provide good protection for treated locations. If not all locations are reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can identify the gaps and gain access via them.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is the most widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites can transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because the termites don’t identify non repellents, they will not recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

The most used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the structures they have been infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire colony may be destroyed in this way, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

In-Ground Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Unaffected by weather
• Safe to use around kids and pets
