Termite Inspection & Control

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold levels of damage to properties throughout South Penrith annually, creating a large requirement for termite inspection.

Removing & Managing Termites

You will find various types of termite infestations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the pros, they are likely to apply one of two general termite prevention processes. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical remedies are the more traditional treatment to get rid of white ants in South Penrith homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has distinct advantages which should not be forgotten.

It’s important to first have a specialist white ant exterminator come out to the home to fully assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover these gaps and gain access.

The most widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

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

Because termites cannot detect non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is much less likely.

The frequently used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to eight years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar way, but they are frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not impacted by weather conditions
• Safe for use around kids and pets
• Ecologically friendly
