Termite Prevention & Control

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 annually, making termite prevention so vital.

Termite Control & Protection

Termite treatments change with regards to their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are 2 major termite management strategies; trying to eradicate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to produce a barrier in between the termites and the building being protected. Contact us today for additional information on the price of termite preventions.

Chemical treatments are a more standard treatment to get rid of termites in North Rocks homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct benefits which cannot be ignored.

It is advantageous to engage the expertise of a specialist pest exterminator to look at your house so the damage can be fully reviewed.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided, they provide good protection for treated locations. However, if not all areas can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and gain access through them.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have contact with them. In addition, termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in positions where there is termite activity.

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 essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Not impacted by weather conditions
• No danger for the kids & pets
• Eco-friendly
