Removal & Inspection Against Termites

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Smithfield each year, making termite removal so crucial.

Termite Removal/Protection Processes

Termite treatments alter with regards to their aims and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are 2 major termite management strategies; trying to eradicate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that try to create a barrier between the termites and the building being protected. Phone us today for additional information on the cost of termite removals.

Termite removal in Smithfield residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, interception and baiting to eradicate the termite colonys may bring some distinct advantages that can not be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection around treated areas. However, if the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can sense these gaps and access the home.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to five years and is a commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants may often transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient effect.

Since termites cannot detect non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The regularly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a compounding effect.

The entire nest may be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a home will make it challenging to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
