Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge quantities of damage to homes in Northwood each year, creating a strong need for termite pest control.

Termite Removal

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are commonly utilised for termite management in Northwood; either the production of a white ant barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Contact us today for additional information about the cost for termite management and treatment.

In Northwood, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ benefits that should not be dismissed.

To ensure the job is done correctly, it’s essential to get a trusted white ant exterminator in to review the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise the gaps and gain access.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of up to 5 years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants will often transfer the chemicals on to other members in the colony, providing a compounding and efficient effect.

Since the termites do not identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

The most often used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is frequently used to erradicate termites from the house, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a compounding result.

The entire colony can be exterminated in this way, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are typically situated throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the structure design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.

• Unaffected by weather conditions
