Termite Inspection & Prevention

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge amounts of damage to homes across St Ives annually, creating a large need for termite inspection.

Two main strategies are typically used for termite management in St Ives; either the production of a termite barrier between the residence and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection for treated locations. However, if not all locations are reached, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and get access via them once again.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

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

Since termites can’t detect non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is much reduced.

The common used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which produces a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be exterminated, even when you do not 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 are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of A Termite Baiting System
