Termite Inspection & Extermination

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold quantities of damage to properties across South Coogee each year, creating a strong requirement for termite inspection.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

There are several types of termite infestations so the best treatments also vary. When you call in the professionals, they are going to apply one of two general termite management systems. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Termite inspection in South Coogee homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, interception and baiting to eradicate the termite colonys may bring some distinct advantages that can not be ignored.

It is important to first get a professional termite exterminator visit the home to fully assess the situation.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided, they provide good protection in treated locations. However, if not all areas can be treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can recognise those gaps and get access through them.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a compounding result.

Because the termites can not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain access through breaks.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the structures that they were eating up to now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be eliminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

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