Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight around Australia. When they infest a house, termites can rapidly create a lot of damage, making it important to call your reliable North Shore Middle Cove termite pest control provider.

Termite Removal

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are typically utilised for termite management in Middle Cove; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Call us today for more info on the cost for termite management and treatment.

Typically, in Middle Cove, termite specialists use a chemical treatment as the preferred type management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has specific advantages and should be considered.

It is wise to first get a professional white ant exterminator come out to the property to assess the situation.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can detect these gaps and again access the building.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because the termites can’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain access through possible gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire nest can be eradicated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
