Termite Inspection
Beauty Point North Shore

Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold amounts of damage to houses across Beauty Point North Shore each year, creating a large requirement for termite inspection.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are generally employed for termite management in Beauty Point; either the production of a termite barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Call us today for more information about the price for termite treatment and management.

In Beauty Point, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that should not be ignored.

It is highly recommended to engage the expertise of an expert pest exterminator to check over your residence in order that the damage can be thoroughly reviewed.

If you feel that your residence or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic.

We can help you to make an informed decision about this crucial service, and offer you a very competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites can identify the gaps and can sometimes get in.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as five years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants may often pass these chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites do not detect non-repellents, they will not recognise treated and untreated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is restricted.

The most applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a compounding effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, but they’re frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.
