Solution For Termite Infestation

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

Termite Removal & Prevention

Termite treatments vary with regards to their goals and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are two main termite management strategies; attempting to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to produce a barrier in between the termites and the structure being protected. Contact us today to learn more about the cost of termite inspections.

White ant inspection in Hornsby residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys can have some distinct advantages that should not be ignored.

It is advantageous to engage the expertise of an experienced termite exterminator to check over your home in order that the damage can be thoroughly looked at.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after exposure to them. In addition, individual termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because the termites can’t identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your home by positioning bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they were attacking. This kills those termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

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

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 particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Benefits

• Flexible protection against termites
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for all the family including pets
