Termite Inspection Castle Hill

Around Australia, termites are frequently called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a significant level of property damage each year. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of Castle Hill Hills District are encouraged to find quality termite inspection services.

Termite Control & Protection

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let us look at them quickly. There are two main strategies carried out for termite control: first is the total eradication of the colony via baiting, and the other is using chemical treatment to make a barrier between the residence and the white ants. Call us today to find out more on the costs involved with various treatment options.

Chemical remedies are a more standard strategy to eliminate termites in Castle Hill homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct advantages which should not be forgotten.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated places are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can sense these breaks and once again access the property.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on result.

As termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a flow on effect.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

An In Ground System is used in a similar fashion, however they are usually placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
