Termite Protection
Gore Hill North Shore

Protection & Prevention Against Termites

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge levels of damage to properties across Gore Hill North Shore every year, creating a strong requirement for termite protection.

Termite Control/Protection Systems

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are typically employed for termite management in Gore Hill; either the production of a termite barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Call us today for additional information on the cost for termite treatment and management.

Typically, in Gore Hill, termite specialists make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred form management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some distinct benefits and should also be considered.

It is important to have your termite situation examined by a professional bug exterminator to assess the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can detect the breaks and access the property.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated places, the possibility for termite access through untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to eliminate termites from your property, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, creating a compounding effect.

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

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
