North Epping North West

Termite Treatment & Protection

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 residences in North Epping North West each year, making termite inspection so vital.

Termite Removal & Management

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at each briefly. There are two main management strategies carried out for termite pest control: one is the complete eradication of the colony with baiting, and the other is with chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the house and the termites. Contact us today for more information on the costs involved with the various treatment options.

Termite inspection in North Epping homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys may have some distinct advantages that can not be ignored.

To make sure the job is done right, it’s advised to have a reliable termite exterminator in to assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites will identify these gaps and can sometimes get in.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is much reduced.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a compounding effect.

In this manner, the whole nest can be eliminated even when the location of the colony is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate area.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a swelling will make it challenging to create effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
