Termite Inspection & Pest Control

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight around Australia. When they infest a structure, termites can rapidly create a considerable amount of damage, making it vital to call your trusted North Shore Killara termite inspection provider.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

There are several treatments possible and each has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are typically employed for termite management in Killara; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Call us today for additional information about the cost for termite treatment and management.

Chemical treatments are a more traditional strategy to kill white ants in Killara homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct benefits which cannot be ignored.

To make sure the job is carried out correctly, it is vital to have a specialist pest exterminator in to assess the situation.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover these gaps and gain ingress.

The regularly frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will move through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites may often pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites do not detect non-repellents, they do not recognise treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to 8 years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been infesting until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

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