Prevention & Control Against Termites

White ant or termite infestations are quite frequent around Australia. Termites are responsible for causing significant damage to many houses in North Narrabeen Northern Beaches annually. That’s why termite prevention and inspection is so important.

Termite Removal

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are commonly used for termite management in North Narrabeen; either the production of a termite barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting.

In North Narrabeen, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that shouldn’t be dismissed.

It is vital to have the termite situation examined by a professional bug exterminator to look at the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants can identify the gaps and can potentially get in.

The most widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

As termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a home by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they are attacking. This soon kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are typically situated throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the structure design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
