Inspection & Treatment Against Termites

In Australia, termites are often referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can wreak a significant level of property damage every year. Due to the great capacity for destruction, residents of Huntleys Cove North West are encouraged to seek quality termite inspection services.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are numerous potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at each quickly. There are two main management strategies carried out for termite pest control: one is the complete eradication of the colony via baiting, and the other is using chemical treatment to create a barrier between the building and the white ants. Call us today to find out more on the costs associated with various treatment options.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover the gaps and gain entry.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after exposure to them. In addition, termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because the termites do not identify non repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the dwelling by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been eating. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
