Inspection & Extermination Against Termites

Termite or white ant infestations are quite frequent around Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in Artarmon each year. That’s why termite inspection and extermination is so important.

Termite Control & Protection

There are numerous potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at them quickly. There are two main management strategies performed for termite control: one is the complete eradication of the colony with baiting, and the other is using chemical treatment to produce a barrier between the building and the colony. Contact us today to learn more about the costs associated with the various treatment options.

As a general rule, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for white ant treatment in Artarmon. Nevertheless, there are several advantages to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It is advantageous to engage the services of an experienced termite exterminator to check over your home so that the damage can be fully reviewed.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify the gaps and gain ingress.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of as many as five years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

Since termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to eliminate termites from the structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a compounding effect.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically placed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not influenced by weather
• Safe for use around kids and pets
• Ecologically Smart

• Colonys or mounds in trees
