Termite Protection & Treatment

In Australia it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in North Rocks every year, making termite extermination so important.

Termite Removal

There are several treatments possible and each one has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are commonly employed for termite management in North Rocks; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Call us today for additional information about the price for termite treatment and management.

White ant extermination in North Rocks residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys may have some definate benefits that should not be ignored.

It is important to get in a specialist termite exterminator to visit your house and assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify these gaps and gain access.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and so they don’t stay away from the chemical. As a result of this, termites will move through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Since the termites don’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain access through possible gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent available today, and features a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your structure by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they are eating. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire nest can be eliminated even though the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another area.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unimpacted by weather
• Safe to use around children and pets
• Environmentally sound

The Signs Of Termite Infestation

A number of signs that you could have a termite infestation include:

• Miniscule holes in drywall and timber
• Wood is crumbling or damaged
• Mud tubes appearing on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Mounds or colonys can be found in nearby trees
• Alates (winged termites) flying from the colony

What Damage Can Termites Do?

When left untreated, even a single nest of termites can do a surprising amount of damage. The structure may even become unusable because of the severity of the problem, and in the extreme, can be irreparable.
