Termite Pest Control & Inspection

Termite or white ant infestations are quite common around Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Riverwood annually. That is why termite pest control and inspection is extremely important.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are several treatments possible and each one has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are typically employed for termite management in Riverwood; either the production of a termite barrier between the residence and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Call us today for more details about the cost for termite treatment and management.

Chemical remedies are the more traditional strategy to get rid of termites in Riverwood homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has distinct benefits which should not be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because termites do not identify non repellents, they do not recognise treated and untreated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is reduced.

The most applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood they were eating up to now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

In this fashion, the entire nest can be eliminated even when the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Not impacted by weather
• No danger to kids & pets

The Telltale Signs Of Termite Infestation

• Tiny holes found in drywall or wood
• Damaged or crumbling timber
• The presence of mud tubes on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the building
• Nests or mounds in tree areas
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen flying from the nest

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Really Do?
