Termite Inspection & Pest Control

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold quantities of damage to buildings throughout Glenbrook every year, creating a strong need for termite inspection.

Termite Removal/Protection Processes

You can find different kinds of termite infestations therefore the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the pros, they will likely to apply one of two general termite protection processes. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Generally, in Glenbrook, termite specialists use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some specific benefits and should be considered.

It is highly recommended to engage the expertise of an expert pest exterminator to look at your structures so that the damage can be thoroughly assessed.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise the gaps and gain entry.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and they do not avoid the chemical. Because of this, white ants will pass over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual termites will transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a flow on result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated locations, the potential for termite access via untreated gaps is far lower.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate 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 instead of the structures that they were eating until recently. 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.

In this manner, the entire nest may be eliminated even when the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are typically situated throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the dwelling design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather
• No danger to kids & pets
• Eco-friendly

How You Can Tell If Your Home Is Infested With Termites

Typical signs that your building is infested with termites:

• Small holes in the drywall or wood
• Wood that is damaged and crumbling
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on the brickwork, wood, ceiling and/or sub-floor areas
• Nests or mounds in trees
• Winged termites (or alates) may be noticed leaving the nest

What Damage Can Termites Do?

When left untreated, even a single nest of white ants is capable of doing a surprising amount of destruction. The house can even become unsafe due to the severity of the problem, and in the extreme, may be unrepairable.
