Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight around Australia. Once they infest a residence, termites can rapidly cause a large amount of damage, making it vital to call your trusted North Shore Duffys Forest termite control provider.

Termite Control & Protection

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies employed are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and extermination the termite colony entirely by baiting. For additional details on what these treatment options cost, give us a call today.

It is important to engage the expertise of an experienced white ant exterminator to check out your residence so that the damage can be fully looked at.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or some areas cannot be treated due to access issues, then white ants will identify the breaks and gain ingress via those areas.

The regularly commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

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

Because the termites can not detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to get rid of termites in the property, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, causing a flow on effect.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
