Termite Control
Northbridge North Shore

Cure For Termite Infestation

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold amounts of damage to buildings throughout Northbridge North Shore on a yearly basis, creating a strong need for termite control.

Termite Removal & Management

You can find different kinds of termite infestations so the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite prevention systems. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical remedies are a more typical treatment to get rid of white ants in Northbridge homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct advantages that cannot be forgotten.

It’s wise to first get a professional termite exterminator come out to the building to evaluate the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection on treated areas. However, if the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can sense the gaps and again access the home.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent available today, and features a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been eating until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

The entire nest can be destroyed in this way, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically installed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the structure design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.

What Damage Can Termites Do?

For such tiny individuals, a nest of termites are capable of doing quite a lot of damage to a structure. If the infestation becomes bad enough, your structure could potentially become unlivable.
