Termite Inspection Minto

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold amounts of damage to homes throughout Minto annually, creating a strong need for termite inspection.

Managing & Removing Termites

You will find different types of termite situations so the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they will likely to apply one of two general termite removal systems. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical treatments are the more traditional treatment to eliminate termites in Minto homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has some distinct advantages that cannot be forgotten.

It is wise to first get a professional white ant exterminator come out to the property to fully assess the situation.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and again access the house.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as many as 5 years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and so they will not stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants pass through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual insects will transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites do not detect non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

The common used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the timber that they were eating previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
