Termite Prevention
The Spit North Shore

Termite Prevention & Inspection

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold levels of damage to buildings throughout The Spit North Shore on a yearly basis, creating a large need for termite prevention.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are several treatments possible and each one has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are typically used for termite management in The Spit; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Call us today for more details about the cost for termite management and treatment.

Termite prevention in The Spit residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys may bring some distinct benefits that should not be ignored.

It is vital to have your white ant situation checked out by a professional bug exterminator to evaluate the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants can identify these gaps and can potentially get in.

The often widely used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they will not steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, white ants go over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual insects transfer the chemical onto other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not identify non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a compounding result.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be erradicated, even though 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 used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a home makes it tricky to have effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

What Destruction Can Termites Do?

If left untreated, even just one nest of white ants are capable of doing an unexpected amount of damage.
