Inspection & Treatment Against Termites

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in Castlecrag each year, making termite inspection so important.

Removing & Managing Termites

Termite treatments alter with regards to their goals and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are 2 major termite management strategies; trying to eradicate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to make a barrier between the termites and the structure to be protected.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for protection around treated areas. However, if the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can sense the gaps and again access the building.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for kids and pets
• An environmentally smart solution

How To Determine If Your Home Is Infested With Termites

There are several signs that your home suffers from a white ant infestation:

• Little holes in the drywall and timber
• Damaged or disintegrating wood
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or below the floor
• Mounds or nests can be seen in nearby trees
• Alates (winged termites) flying from the colony
