Termite Inspection
North West

Cure For Termite Infestation

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create untold quantities of damage to buildings across North West annually, creating a large requirement for termite inspection.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are numerous potential treatments for termites, so let us take a look at each briefly. There are two main strategies conducted for termite pest control: first is the total eradication of the colony via baiting, and next is with chemical treatment to create a barrier between the house and the colony. Call us today for additional information about the costs associated with various treatment options.

In North West, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that should not be ignored.

To make sure the job is carried out right, it is crucial to have a reliable white ant exterminator in to review the situation.

If you think that your residence or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can detect these breaks and again access the home.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a compounding effect.

Because termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The often used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as 8 years after treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which creates a flow on result.

In this manner, the entire colony may be eliminated even though the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another place.

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

How Problematic Are Termites?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of termites (white ants) can do quite a lot of damage to a building. If the problem becomes severe enough, your property may become unlivable.
