Termite Control
Normanhurst North West

Termite Treatment & Protection

Around Australia, termites are often called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can cause a massive amount of property damage each year. Due to their great capacity for destruction, residents of Normanhurst North West are encouraged to find quality termite control services.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are several treatments possible and each has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are generally used for termite management in Normanhurst; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Contact us today for more details on the price for termite treatment and management.

White ant control in Normanhurst residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, interception and baiting to kill the termite colonys may bring some distinct benefits that should not be ignored.

It is advantageous to engage the services of a specialist termite exterminator to check out your structures in order that the damage can be fully assessed.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can identify these breaks and once again access the house.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after contact with them. In addition, termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Since the termites can’t identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a home by placing bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they are attacking. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

The entire nest may be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

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

Can Termites Badly Damage My Building?
