Cremorne North Shore

Removal & Treatment Against Termites

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge levels of damage to houses throughout Cremorne North Shore each year, creating a strong need for termite removal.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are commonly utilised for termite management in Cremorne; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Contact us today for more information on the cost for termite management and treatment.

Chemical treatments are a more typical treatment to eliminate white ants in Cremorne homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct benefits which cannot be forgotten.

It’s wise to first have a specialist white ant exterminator come out to the house to look at the damage.

If you think that your home or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Phone us to receive the help of the best termite removal team covering the Cremorne area. We will help you to make an educated decision about this important service, and offer you a very competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor areas cannot be treated because of access difficulties, then white ants may identify the breaks and attain access via those areas.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants may often pass these chemicals on to other members of the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated places, the potential of termite access via untreated gaps is lower.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the timber that they were infesting until recently. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be eliminated, 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 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 intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.

What Destruction Can Termites Cause?

Termites may cause significant damage to structural elements of your building. If significant, the infestation can make the home unfit for use. Phone North Shore Termite Pest Control today, and organise for one of our termite removal experts to drop by and inspect your Cremorne property.
