Termite Treatment & Pest Control

In Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can wreak a massive level of property damage each year. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of Middle Cove Sydney are advised to find reliable termite treatment services.

Termite Removal

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at each quickly. There are two main strategies performed for termite control: first is the complete eradication of the colony through baiting, and the other is with chemical treatment to make a barrier between the home and the termites. Call us today for more information on the costs involved with the various treatment options.

Termite treatment in Middle Cove residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys can bring some distinct advantages that should not be ignored.

It’s important to first have a professional white ant exterminator come out to the building to fully look at the situation.

We can help you to make a well informed decision about this crucial service, and offer you a competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection in treated areas. If not all locations are reached, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access via them.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after contact with them. In addition, individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites then feed the bait to other members of the colony which creates a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be eliminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems can 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 white ants before the perimeter is breached.
