Termite Inspection Minto

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge amounts of damage to homes across Minto on a yearly basis, creating a strong need for termite inspection.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let us take a look at each briefly. There are two main management strategies performed for termite pest control: first is the total eradication of the colony with baiting, and next is using chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the building and the termites. Call us today for more information about the costs involved with various treatment options.

White ant inspection in Minto homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, interception and baiting to eradicate the termite colonys can have some distinct benefits that should not be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify the gaps and gain ingress.

The often commonly applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and they will not avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants go through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual termites will transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a flow on result.

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

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to erradicate termites in your house, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on result.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a structure makes it tricky to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe to use around children and pets
