Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight in Australia. Once they infest a structure, termites can rapidly create a large amount of damage, making it crucial to call your reliable North Shore Lane Cove termite extermination provider.

Termite Removal

Termite treatments alter with regards to their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are 2 major termite management strategies; trying to eliminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to produce a barrier in between the termites and the structure to be protected. Call us today for additional information on the price of termite exterminations.

Chemical treatments are the more standard strategy to get rid of termites in Lane Cove homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct advantages which cannot be ignored.

It is necessary to have the termite situation examined by a professional bug exterminator to assess the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites may identify the gaps and can sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and so they do not stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will move over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects transfer the chemical onto other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

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

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years following treatment.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the structures they were eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
