Termite Protection & Treatment

In Australia it is common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and residences in Kings Cross each year, making termite control so essential.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are several treatments possible and each one has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are commonly employed for termite management in Kings Cross; either the production of a white ant barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Call us today for more information on the cost for termite treatment and management.

In Kings Cross, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that shouldn’t be dismissed.

It is wise to first get a professional white ant exterminator come out to the property to assess the situation.

If you think that your home or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Give us a call and receive the assistance of the most experienced termite control team covering the Kings Cross area. We can assist you to make a well informed decision on this crucial service, and offer you a very competitive price for treatment.

Please call our team with questions you may have about cost or processes today and we’ll assist you in finding the appropriate strategy for your specific requirements and situation.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection on treated places. However, if the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can detect the breaks and once again access the home.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after contact with them. Additionally, termites will pass the chemical on to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites don’t identify non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

The most common used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to erradicate termites in your property, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Not influenced by weather conditions
• Safe for youngsters and pets
