Termite Inspection & Extermination

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight around Australia. When they infest a house, termites can rapidly cause a great deal of damage, making it vital to call your reliable Wahroonga termite inspection provider.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are generally used for termite management in Wahroonga; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for more details on the cost for termite treatment and management.

In Wahroonga, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ benefits that should not be dismissed.

It is important to have the termite situation examined by a professional pest controller to assess the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants will recognise these gaps and could sometimes get in.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Because termites can’t identify non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The most commonly used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of up to eight years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the structure by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been attacking. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

An entire nest can be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Unimpacted by weather
• Safe to use around kids and pets
