Pest Control & Prevention Against Termites

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight in Australia. When they infest a property, termites can rapidly create a large amount of damage, making it crucial to call your trusted North Shore Georges Heights termite pest control provider.

Termite Control/Protection Strategies

There are several treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are typically used for termite management in Georges Heights; either the production of a termite barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Contact us today for more info about the cost for termite treatment and management.

Termite pest control in Georges Heights homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys can have some distinct benefits that can not be ignored.

It is wise to first have a professional white ant exterminator visit the property to fully look at the situation.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants may recognise these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites can pass these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because the termites can not detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain access via breaks.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites then feed the bait to other members of the nest which results in a flow on effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
