Pest Control & Prevention Against Termites

In Australia it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in North Sydney North Shore each year, making termite pest control so important.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are commonly employed for termite management in North Sydney; either the creation of a termite barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting.

Chemical remedies are a more typical strategy to eliminate termites in North Sydney homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct advantages that cannot be forgotten.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites may recognise the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites can often pass the chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated places, the possibility for termite access via non-treated gaps is far lower.

The common used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a flow on effect.

In this manner, the nest can be eliminated even when the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the building design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
