Termite Inspection & Prevention

White ant or termite infestations are rather common within Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Malabar annually. That is why termite inspection and prevention is extremely important.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are various types of termite infestations and so the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the specialists, they are going to apply one of two general termite removal processes. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

White ant inspection in Malabar residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, interception and baiting to eradicate the termite colonys can have some definate advantages that should not be ignored.

It is important to first have a professional white ant exterminator visit the house to evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection around treated areas. However, if the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can sense these gaps and access the building.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

As termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which results in a flow on result.

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

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a swelling makes it hard to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
