Termite Inspection Glenwood

Termite or white ant infestations are quite frequent around Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in Glenwood annually. That is why termite inspection and prevention is extremely important.

Removing & Managing Termites

Termite treatments vary regarding their goals and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are 2 main termite management strategies; attempting to eradicate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to produce a barrier between the termites and the structure being protected. Phone us today for additional information on the cost of termite inspections.

In Glenwood, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that shouldn’t be ignored.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants may recognise these gaps and can sometimes get in.

The most frequently utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated areas, the potential for termite ingress via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The regularly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a house by placing bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they are attacking. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire colony may be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are typically situated around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the dwelling design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
