Termite Control North Sydney

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge levels of damage to buildings throughout North Sydney North Shore every year, creating a strong need for termite control.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at them quickly. There are two main management strategies conducted for termite pest control: first is the total eradication of the colony with baiting, and second is with chemical treatments to create a barrier between the home and the colony. Call us today to learn more about the costs associated with various treatment options.

White ant control in North Sydney homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys may bring some definate advantages that should not be ignored.

It is important to first get a specialist termite exterminator visit the home to fully look at the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection in treated areas. However, if not all areas can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and get access through them once again.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

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

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is frequently used to get rid of termites in the house, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the wood. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore creating a flow on result.

In this fashion, the entire nest can be eliminated even though the location of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically placed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the structure design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
