Inspection & Removal Against Termites

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Turramurra annually, making termite inspection so vital.

Removing & Managing Termites

Termite treatments change with regards to their aims and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are 2 main termite management strategies; attempting to exterminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that try to make a barrier between the termites and the building to be protected. Phone us today for additional info on the price of termite inspections.

In Turramurra, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that shouldn’t be dismissed.

It’s important to first have a professional termite exterminator come out to the building to fully assess the situation.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection on treated locations. However, if the treated places are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can identify these gaps and once again access the house.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they don’t avoid the treated areas. Because of this, white ants go through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated areas, the chance for termite ingress via non-treated gaps is much lower.

The most common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings 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 white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire nest can be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant 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 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 Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Not impacted by weather
• Safe for children and pets
