Termite Extermination North Turramurra

In Australia, termites are frequently referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can wreak a massive level of property damage annually. Due to their great capacity for destruction, residents of North Turramurra North Shore are encouraged to find quality termite extermination services.

Termite Control/Prevention Strategies

Termite treatments change with regards to their aims and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are two major termite management strategies; attempting to eradicate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that try to make a barrier in between the termites and the structure being protected. Phone us today for additional information on the cost of termite exterminations.

For the most part, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in North Turramurra. However, there are distinct advantages to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

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

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain access.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites may often transfer the chemicals on to other members of the colony, generating a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites can’t identify non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most commonly used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat features a residual life of up to eight years following treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

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

In this way, the whole termite colony will be erradicated, even though you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly installed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the dwelling design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.

What Damage Can Termites Do?
