Termite Inspection & Extermination

In Australia, termites are frequently referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can wreak a massive amount of property damage annually. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of Glenfield are encouraged to seek quality termite inspection services.

Termite Removal/Prevention Processes

You can find different kinds of termite situations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the professionals, they are going to apply one of two general termite management strategies. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

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

It’s important to first have a professional termite exterminator come out to the home to fully assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection for treated locations. However, if not all areas are treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access through them.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

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

As termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the wood they were infesting until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

The entire nest may be eliminated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

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

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for use around kids and pets
• Environmentally Friendly

The Telltale Indications Of A Termite Infestation

There are several indications your house has a termite infestation:

• Small holes bored in timber panels or drywall
• Damaged or disintegrating wood
• The presence of mud tubes on the brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the structure
• Mounds or colonys can be seen in nearby trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying to the colony

How Destructive Can Termites Be?

When left untreated, even just one nest of termites are capable of doing a surprising amount of damage. The dwelling may even become unlivable because of the significance of the infestation, and in extreme cases, may be unrepairable.
