Termite Treatment & Extermination

Around Australia, termites are frequently referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can cause a significant amount of property damage each year. Due to their great capacity for destruction, residents of Georges Heights North Shore are encouraged to seek quality termite treatment services.

Removing & Managing Termites

Termite treatments alter in terms of their goals and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are two major termite management strategies; trying to eliminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments which try to make a barrier between the termites and the building to be protected. Give us a call today for more information on the price of termite treatments.

Typically, in Georges Heights, termite specialists make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred form management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has specific advantages and should be considered.

To ensure the job is carried out right, it’s vital to get a reliable pest exterminator in to review the situation.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so they do not stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, termites pass through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites can not detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain access via gaps.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be erradicated, even when you don’t 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 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 especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
