Protection & Control Against Termites

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight in Australia. When they infest a structure, termites can rapidly create a large amount of damage, making it important to call your trusted North Shore Castle Cove termite protection provider.

Termite Removal

Termite treatments alter in terms of their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are 2 major termite management strategies; trying to eliminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to produce a barrier in between the termites and the structure to be protected. Call us today for additional information on the cost of termite protections.

Typically, in Castle Cove, termite experts will use a chemical treatment as the preferred form management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some distinct benefits and should be considered.

It is crucial to have the termite situation checked out by a professional bug exterminator to look at the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise these gaps and gain entry.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a compounding effect.

Because termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the building by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they were eating. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be exterminated, even if 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 Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
