Inspection & Protection Against Termites

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight around Australia. When they infest a structure, termites can rapidly cause a considerable amount of damage, making it vital to call your reliable North Ryde termite inspection provider.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

There are several treatments possible and each has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are commonly employed for termite management in North Ryde; either the production of a termite barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for additional information about the cost for termite treatment and management.

Generally, in North Ryde, termite specialists use a chemical treatment as the preferred type control strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some specific benefits and should also be considered.

It is vital to bring in a professional termite exterminator to check out your house and assess the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided, they provide excellent protection in treated locations. If not all locations are treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can recognise those gaps and get access through them.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Because the termites don’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

The most common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been infesting up to now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

In-Ground Systems are employed in a similar way, however they are frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for kids and pets
