Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge amounts of damage to properties throughout North Shore on a yearly basis, creating a strong need for termite prevention.

Termite Control & Protection

There are several kinds of termite infestations and hence the best treatments also vary. When you call in the professionals, they are likely to apply one of two general termite prevention processes. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical remedies are the more typical treatment to get rid of termites in North Shore homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct benefits which should not be ignored.

It is important to first have a professional white ant exterminator come out to the building to evaluate the situation.

So you already know you have a termite problem and need the most effective prevention on offer in North Shore? Do you need to get a dependable termite prevention service in North Shore? We can help you to make an informed decision on the best options for your property as well as providing affordable prices.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection for treated areas. If not all areas are reached, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and gain access via them.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they don’t steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, termites will move through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual termites transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of up to eight years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses 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 termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be eliminated, even when you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 Baiting Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection system
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for all your family including pets
• Environmentally sound

Common Indications You Have A Termite Infestation

Several signs that you could have a termite infestation include:

• Tiny holes found in drywall or wood
• Wood that is damaged and disintegrating
• Mud tubes appear on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Obvious termite colonys & mounds in trees close to the home
• Swarms of winged termites flying from the termite colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?

When left untreated, even a single nest of termites are capable of doing an unexpected amount of destruction. The home can even become unusable as a result of the significance of the problem, and in the extreme, can be unrepairable.
