Termite Inspection & Pest Control

In Australia, termites are often referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can wreak a massive amount of property damage every year. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of St Helens Park Campbelltown are encouraged to seek quality termite inspection services.

Termite Removal & Management

Termite treatments change in terms of their aims and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two main termite management strategies; trying to eradicate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that try to produce a barrier between the termites and the building to be protected. Phone us today for additional info on the cost of termite inspections.

White ant inspection in St Helens Park homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, baiting and interception to eradicate the termite colonys may bring some definate benefits that should not be ignored.

To make sure the job is carried out right, it’s vital to have a trusted white ant exterminator in to review the situation.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection around treated places. However, if the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can sense these gaps and again access the house.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a compounding result.

Since termites do not detect non repellents, they will not recognise untreated and treated places, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the timber that they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

In this manner, the entire nest can be eliminated even when the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a house makes it challenging to create effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.

How Destructive Can Termites Be?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of termites is capable of causing quite a lot of damage to a structure. If the infestation becomes serious enough, the house may potentially become unlivable.
