Inspection & Prevention Against Termites

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge amounts of damage to properties across Cheltenham every year, creating a strong requirement for termite inspection.

Termite Removal

There are several treatments possible and each one has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are typically utilised for termite management in Cheltenham; either the production of a white ant barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Call us today for more information about the cost for termite management and treatment.

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

It is important to bring in an expert termite exterminator to check out your property and evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

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

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of up to five years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants may also pass the chemicals on to other members in the colony, providing a flow on and efficient effect.

Since termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is a lot reduced.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the wood that they have been infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

The entire nest can be eradicated in this way, regardless of if the location of the colony 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 white ant activity.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for use around children and pets
