Termite Prevention & Inspection

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight around Australia. When they infest a residence, termites can rapidly cause a great deal of damage, making it essential to call your trusted South Hurstville termite prevention provider.

Termite Removal/Protection Processes

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies utilised are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and extermination the termite colony entirely by baiting. For more information on what these treatments cost, give us a call now.

Generally, in South Hurstville, termite specialists will use a chemical treatment as the preferred type removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has specific advantages and should also be considered.

It is important to have your white ant situation examined by a professional bug exterminator to assess the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection for treated areas. If not all locations are reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can recognise those gaps and get access via them.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t detect non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the home by positioning bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been attacking. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in locations 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 vital 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

• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness

• Small holes in timber panels or drywall
• Wood that is damaged or disintegrating
• The presence of "mud tubes" on the brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the structure
• Termite colonys & mounds in trees near the structure
• Alates (winged termites) flying from the colony
