Termite Treatment & Pest Control

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight around Australia. When they infest a residence, termites can rapidly create a large amount of damage, making it vital to call your trusted Northern Beaches termite treatment provider.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

Each situation is different, and so there are different treatment options for specific situations. The two main strategies utilised 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.

White ant treatment in Northern Beaches residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys can have some distinct benefits that should not be ignored.

It’s important to get in an experienced termite exterminator to check out your premises and assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants may identify these gaps and can potentially get in.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may also pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites can’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

The most commonly used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat has a residual life of as many as 8 years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the dwelling by positioning bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they are eating. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

How Destructive Can Termites Be?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of termites can do a great deal of damage to a home. If the infestation becomes serious enough, the home could become unlivable.
