Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight around Australia. Once they infest a structure, termites can rapidly cause a considerable amount of damage, making it essential to call your reliable Northern Beaches Curl Curl termite treatment provider.

Termite Control/Prevention Processes

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 eradicating the termite colony entirely by baiting. To learn more about what these treatment methods cost, give us a call now.

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

It is important to call in an expert termite exterminator to check out your home and assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover these gaps and gain ingress.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

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

Because the termites do not identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a flow on result.

The entire colony may be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, however they are generally situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. These systems are useful when the construction of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.
