Termite Control
Cromer Northern Beaches

Termite Control & Removal

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge levels of damage to houses across Cromer Northern Beaches each year, creating a large need for termite control.

Managing & Removing Termites

You can find different types of termite situations so the best treatments also vary. When you call in the specialists, they are likely to apply one of two general termite management systems. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical treatments are a more traditional treatment to kill termites in Cromer homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has some distinct advantages that cannot be ignored.

It’s vital to call in an expert termite exterminator to check out your property and assess the damage.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites can recognise these gaps and could potentially gain access.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not identify non-repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and thus access through possible gaps is reduced.

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the structures they were infesting until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are typically situated throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the house design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
