Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight in Australia. When they infest a house, termites can rapidly create a great deal of damage, making it essential to call your reliable North Shore Gore Hill termite protection provider.

Termite Removal

There are numerous potential treatments for termites, so let us look at them quickly. There’s two main management strategies performed for termite control: first is the total eradication of the colony via baiting, and the other is using chemical treatment to create a barrier between the home and the white ants. Contact us today for additional information on the costs associated with the various treatment options.

White ant protection in Gore Hill residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys may have some distinct advantages that cannot be ignored.

It’s vital to get in an experienced termite exterminator to check out your home and assess the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

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

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites may often pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

Because the termites do not identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to erradicate termites from your home, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a flow on effect.

The entire nest may be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are typically situated throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the home design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Really Do?

When left untreated, even just one colony of white ants are capable of doing a surprising amount of damage. The structure may even become unusable due to the significance of the infestation, and in the extreme, may be irreparable.
