Termite Extermination Greenwich

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge levels of damage to houses across Greenwich North Shore every year, creating a strong requirement for termite extermination.

Termite Removal

Termite treatments change in terms of their goals and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are two main termite management strategies; attempting to eliminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments which try to produce a barrier between the termites and the building to be protected.

Typically, in Greenwich, termite specialists use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some distinct advantages and should also be considered.

It’s wise to first have a professional termite exterminator come out to the property to fully evaluate the situation.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites will recognise these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and so they don’t steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, termites will pass through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual termites will pass the chemical onto other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Since termites do not identify non repellents, they do not recognise treated and untreated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is reduced.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the structure by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been attacking. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

The entire nest may be destroyed in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a house can make it challenging to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
