Termite Prevention Pymble

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight around Australia. Once they infest a home, termites can rapidly cause a considerable amount of damage, making it essential to call your reliable North Shore Pymble termite prevention provider.

Termite Removal & Prevention

Each situation is unique, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies utilised are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eradicating the termite colony entirely by baiting. To learn more about what these treatment methods cost, give us a call today.

In Pymble, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that should not be ignored.

To make sure the job is carried out correctly, it’s essential to have a reliable termite exterminator in to review the situation.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or areas can’t be treated as a result of access problems, then termites can identify the breaks and gain ingress via them.

The most commonly applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can also pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a flow on result.

Because termites do not identify non-repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is reduced.

The frequently used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a residual life of up to 8 years following application.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

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

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

What Destruction Can Termites Cause?

When left untreated, even just one colony of white ants are capable of doing an unexpected amount of damage. The dwelling can even become unsafe due to the significance of the problem, and in the extreme, can be unrepairable.
