Termite Inspection & Extermination

Termite or white ant infestations are quite frequent in Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in Cromer Northern Beaches annually. That is why termite inspection and treatment is so important.

Termite Control/Protection Systems

You can find various kinds of termite infestations therefore the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the pros, they are going to apply one of two general termite protection processes. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical treatments are a more traditional strategy to eliminate termites in Cromer homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has distinct benefits that cannot be ignored.

It’s important to call in a specialist termite exterminator to check out your property and assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites may identify the gaps and could sometimes get in.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants will often pass the chemicals on to other members of the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber that they were eating previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

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

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