Termite Pest Control
Northmead Parramatta

Termite Protection & Treatment

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create huge levels of damage to homes across Northmead Parramatta every year, creating a strong requirement for termite pest control.

Termite Removal & Prevention

There are different kinds of termite situations therefore the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite removal processes. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Typically, in Northmead, termite specialists use a chemical treatment as the preferred form control strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has distinct benefits and should also be considered.

It is important to first get a professional white ant exterminator visit the building to evaluate the situation.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection for treated locations. However, if not all areas can be reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can identify those gaps and gain access via them.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites don’t detect non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and thus access through possible gaps is reduced.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which results in a compounding result.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this way, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the home design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
