Termite Control Northern Beaches

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge quantities of damage to homes in Northern Beaches every year, creating a large requirement for termite control.

Termite Removal & Prevention

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies used are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and extermination the termite colony entirely by baiting. For additional details on what these treatments cost, give us a call now.

As a general rule, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in Northern Beaches. Nevertheless, there are several advantages to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It’s important to first have a specialist white ant exterminator come out to the property to fully evaluate the situation.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

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

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will also transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites do not detect non repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to get rid of termites from your house, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

In this way, the whole colony may be eliminated even when the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another area.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the house design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
