Termite Inspection & Treatment

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight in Australia. Once they infest a structure, termites can rapidly create a large amount of damage, making it crucial to call your reliable Heathcote termite inspection provider.

Termite Control & Protection

There are several treatments possible and each one has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are generally employed for termite management in Heathcote; either the production of a white ant barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Call us today for more information on the cost for termite treatment and management.

White ant inspection in Heathcote homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys can bring some definate advantages that cannot be ignored.

It is important to first get a specialist white ant exterminator visit the home to fully look at the situation.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can identify the gaps and once again access the home.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites can also pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, providing a compounding and efficient effect.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a flow on effect.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be erradicated, even if you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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.

In-Ground Systems are employed in a similar fashion, but they’re frequently situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are useful when the construction of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Flexible protection system
• Impervious to weather conditions
