Termite Prevention & Inspection

White ant or termite infestations are quite common within Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many homes in Maroubra each year. That is why termite prevention and inspection is extremely important.

Removing & Managing Termites

Termite treatments vary with regards to their aims and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. The two major termite management strategies; attempting to eliminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to create a barrier between the termites and the building to be protected.

In Maroubra, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that shouldn’t be dismissed.

To make sure the job is carried out correctly, it’s crucial to have a specialist termite exterminator in to look at the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection for treated locations. However, if not all locations are treated, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access through them once again.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is the most widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and so they will not steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, termites pass through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual insects will pass the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a compounding effect.

As termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the timber that they have been eating up to now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the house design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection system
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for the kids and pets
• Environmentally sound
