Protection & Inspection Against Termites

Termite or white ant infestations are rather frequent within Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many properties in Allambie Heights annually. That is why termite protection and inspection is so important.

Termite Removal/Prevention Strategies

There are several treatments possible and each has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are generally employed for termite management in Allambie Heights; either the production of a termite barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Contact us today for more details on the cost for termite management and treatment.

In Allambie Heights, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that should not be dismissed.

It’s vital to bring in an expert termite exterminator to check out your property and assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or places can not be treated as a result of access problems, the white ants may detect the gaps and gain access through those areas.

The often widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated areas, the potential for termite access via untreated gaps is far lower.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the building by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they are attacking. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be erradicated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

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

Advantages OF Termite Baiting
