Termite Control Greenwich

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge levels of damage to homes throughout Greenwich on a yearly basis, creating a large need for termite control.

Termite Removal/Protection Processes

You can find different types of termite situations so the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the professionals, they are going to apply one of two general termite prevention strategies. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

In Greenwich, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that shouldn’t be ignored.

It is wise to first have a specialist termite exterminator visit the house to fully look at the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection for treated locations. If not all areas can be treated, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and get access through them once again.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants may also pass these chemicals on to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

Since the termites do not identify non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a house by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been attacking. 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 nest members.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be erradicated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

An In-Ground System is utilised in a similar fashion, but they are generally installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not impacted by weather conditions
• Safe for kids and pets
• Ecologically smart
