Termite Treatment Narrabeen

In Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can wreak a massive level of property damage every year. Because of the great capacity for destruction, residents of Narrabeen Northern Beaches are encouraged to seek quality termite treatment services.

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 today.

Chemical remedies are a more traditional treatment to kill white ants in Narrabeen homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has some distinct benefits that should not be ignored.

It’s important to first get a professional white ant exterminator visit the building to assess the damage.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if 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 can potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they will pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your home by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they are attacking. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
