Neutral Bay North Shore

Termite Treatment & Protection

across the country it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Neutral Bay North Shore every year, making termite removal so important.

Termite Removal & Prevention

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at them quickly. There are two main strategies carried out for termite pest control: first is the total eradication of the colony via baiting, and second is with chemical treatments to make a barrier between the building and the white ants. Contact us today to find out more about the costs associated with various treatment options.

In Neutral Bay, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that shouldn’t be ignored.

It’s vital to bring in a professional termite exterminator to visit your house and assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover these gaps and gain ingress.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of up to five years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated locations, the potential of termite access through non-treated gaps is much lower.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent available today, and features a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a structure by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been attacking. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the colony may be eliminated even when the location of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar fashion, however they’re usually installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.
