Termite Extermination & Inspection

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold amounts of damage to houses throughout Lane Cove annually, creating a strong requirement for termite extermination.

Termite Removal & Management

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are typically used for termite management in Lane Cove; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting.

Chemical remedies are the more standard treatment to eliminate white ants in Lane Cove homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has distinct advantages which should not be forgotten.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites can recognise these gaps and can potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is a commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Since termites cannot identify non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is significantly less likely.

The common used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the nest which results in a compounding result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is not known.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are typically placed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the dwelling design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• No danger for kids & pets
• Ecologically sound

The Warning Signs Of Termite Infestation

There are various indications that your house has a white ant infestation:

• Miniscule holes in drywall or timber
• Damaged & crumbling timber
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or below the floor
• Mounds or colonys can be seen in nearby trees
• Swarms of alates flying from the termite nest

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Do?

It surprises many people to discover that white ants could do a lot of harm to buildings. In fact, even a single colony of termites can render a home unsafe if the problem is severe enough. Set your mind at ease; call Lane Cove Termite Pest Control and have one of our termite extermination specialists examine your Lane Cove property ASAP.
