Termite Protection & Treatment

Around Australia, termites are frequently referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can cause a significant amount of property damage each year. Because of the great capacity for destruction, residents of North Shore are advised to seek quality termite inspection services.

Termite Removal

Termite treatments vary in terms of their goals and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are two main termite management strategies; trying to eliminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which try to create a barrier in between the termites and the building to be protected. Call us today for additional info on the price of termite inspections.

Chemical remedies are a more typical strategy to kill termites in North Shore homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has some distinct benefits that should not be ignored.

It is highly recommended to engage the services of a professional white ant exterminator to look at your structures so the damage can be thoroughly looked at.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

As termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, 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.

In-Ground Systems are employed in a similar way, but they’re usually situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for use around children and pets
• An environmentally smart solution

Common Signs You Have A Termite Infestation

Typical signs that your building has a termite infestation:

• Little holes found in drywall and/or timber
• Damaged or collapsing timber
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on wood, floorboards, ceilings, brickwork or in underfloor areas
• Obvious termite colonys & mounds in trees near the structure
• Winged termites (or alates) may be seen swarming from the colony
