Termite Prevention & Inspection

Termite or white ant infestations are rather common around Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in Lansvale annually. That is why termite prevention and inspection is so important.

Removing & Managing Termites

You can find different types of termite situations therefore the best treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite protection systems. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Generally, in Lansvale, termite experts make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred form control strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some specific advantages and should be considered.

It is important to have your white ant situation checked out by a professional pest controller to look at the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection around treated places. However, if the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can detect the gaps and access the house.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as many as 5 years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

As termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are often used to erradicate termites from your home, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a compounding result.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the location of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in positions where there is 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 especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not influenced by weather
