Termite Prevention & Pest Control

Termites, also known as white ants, are a regular sight around Australia. When they infest a residence, termites can rapidly cause a considerable amount of damage, making it vital to call your reliable Gore Hill termite prevention provider.

Termite Control/Protection Processes

There are several treatments possible and each one has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are generally utilised for termite management in Gore Hill; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants may recognise the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The regularly widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Since termites can’t detect non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is frequently used to get rid of termites in your dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a compounding result.

In this manner, the nest can be eliminated even when the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a swelling will make it challenging to install effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Flexible protection system
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe to use around kids and pets
• An environmentally smart solution

• Timber is crumbling or damaged
• The presence of "mud tubes" on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the dwelling
• Mounds or colonys can be found in nearby trees
