Termite Removal
Narrabeen Northern Beaches

Remedy For Termite Infestation

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge amounts of damage to properties across Narrabeen Northern Beaches each year, creating a large requirement for termite removal.

Termite Control/Protection Processes

You can find various types of termite situations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite removal systems. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

In Narrabeen, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that should not be ignored.

It is important to call in an expert termite exterminator to visit your premises and assess the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering good 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 treated, termites can recognise the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a commonly used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since termites cannot identify non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The most often used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to get rid of termites from the house, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a compounding result.

In this way, the whole colony can be eliminated even when the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
