Solution For Termite Infestation

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight in Australia. Once they infest a house, termites can rapidly create a considerable amount of damage, making it vital to call your trusted North Rocks termite protection provider.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are generally utilised for termite management in North Rocks; either the production of a white ant barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Contact us today for more details on the cost for termite management and treatment.

Typically, in North Rocks, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred form removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some specific advantages and should be considered.

It is crucial to have the termite situation checked out by a professional pest controller to look at the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

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

The commonly used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat features a residual life of as many as 8 years following application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your dwelling by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they are attacking. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this manner, the whole nest can be eliminated even though the location of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate area.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are typically installed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
