Termite Protection & Treatment

Around Australia, termites are frequently called ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can wreak a massive level of property damage each year. Due to their great capacity for destruction, residents of Northwood are advised to find quality termite protection services.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are several treatments possible and each one has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are typically used for termite management in Northwood; either the production of a termite barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Call us today for more details on the price for termite treatment and management.

Chemical treatments are a more traditional strategy to eliminate white ants in Northwood homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has distinct benefits which cannot be ignored.

It is essential to have your termite situation checked out by a professional bug exterminator to evaluate the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can sense these gaps and access the home.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites will often transfer these chemicals on to other members in the colony, providing a compounding and efficient result.

Since the termites do not identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress via breaks.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures 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 fashion, the entire colony may be eliminated even though the location of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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 particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Poor weather does not impact control
• No danger for the kids & pets
• Environmentally sound
