Inspection & Treatment Against Termites

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Parklea every year, making termite inspection so vital.

Termite Removal

There are several treatments possible and each has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are typically used for termite management in Parklea; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Contact us today for more details on the cost for termite treatment and management.

Chemical treatments are a more standard treatment to eliminate white ants in Parklea homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct advantages which should not be forgotten.

It is of great importance to engage the expertise of a professional termite exterminator to look at your house so the damage can be thoroughly looked at.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants will recognise the gaps and could potentially get in.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may also transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a compounding result.

Since termites can not detect non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most frequently used non repellent option is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of as many as eight years following application.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the structures they were infesting until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in places where there is termite activity.

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar way, however they are generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. These systems are useful when the construction of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for all the family & pets

Signs That You Have Termites

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Do?

For such tiny individuals, a nest of termites (white ants) can cause a lot of damage to a structure. If the infestation becomes bad enough, the house may potentially become unusable.
