Termite Pest Control & Prevention

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create huge quantities of damage to properties across Northmead every year, creating a strong requirement for termite pest control.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are typically employed for termite management in Northmead; either the production of a white ant barrier between the residence and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting. Contact us today for additional information on the price for termite treatment and management.

Typically, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for white ant treatment in Northmead. However, there are several benefits to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites may identify these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they do not steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, white ants pass over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual insects will pass the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Since the termites do not detect non repellents, they do not recognise treated and untreated places, and thus access via possible gaps is restricted.

The most applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a building by positioning bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they are attacking. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

An In-Ground System is utilised in a similar manner, however they are generally installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.

Baiting System Benefits

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Not affected by weather
