Prevention & Extermination Against Termites

In Australia it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in North Sydney each year, making termite prevention so important.

Termite Removal

There are several treatments possible and each has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are generally used for termite management in North Sydney; either the production of a termite barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Call us today for more info on the cost for termite treatment and management.

Typically, in North Sydney, termite specialists will make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred form removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has specific advantages and should be considered.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated places aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can detect the breaks and again access the building.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on result.

Since the termites don’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is regularly used to eliminate termites from your structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, creating a compounding effect.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be 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 particularly vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Benefits

• Flexible protection system
• Unaffected by weather conditions
