Termite Inspection & Protection

In Australia, termites are frequently referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can wreak a massive amount of property damage each year. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of St Leonards are encouraged to seek reliable termite inspection services.

Termite Removal/Protection Systems

Termite treatments change in terms of their goals and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are two main termite management strategies; attempting to exterminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments which try to create a barrier between the termites and the structure being protected. Give us a call today for additional information on the cost of termite inspections.

White ant inspection in St Leonards residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys can bring some definate advantages that should not be ignored.

It is highly recommended to engage the expertise of a professional termite exterminator to check over your property so the damage can be fully assessed.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection on treated areas. However, if the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can sense the gaps and again access the house.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of up to five years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

Since termites don’t identify non-repellents, they don’t recognise treated and untreated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the dwelling by placing bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they are eating. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be erradicated, even if 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 termites before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits Of A Termite Baiting System

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• No danger for kids & pets
• Eco-friendly
