We specialise in delivering customised termite control solutions for both residential and commercial properties. WE ARE ONE OF THE LONGEST ESTABLISHED TERMITE CONTROL COMPANIES ON THE NORTHERN SUBURBS OF SYDNEY.Gerard Dallow oversees termite control services in Cheltenham, bringing over 30 years of hands-on experience since beginning his career in the late 1980s. With more than 7,000 termite treatments completed, he has built a reputation for providing reliable and long-lasting results. Supported by his extensive knowledge and consistently positive client reviews, Gerard is regarded as one of the most trusted and respected experts in the termite control industry. ![]() There are five main methods to control termites, baiting, physical barriers, dusting, spraying and foaming. Important to note, Cheltenham is home to three distinct destructive termite species. The most common and destructive are Coptotermes Acinaciformis Termites , followed by Schedorhinotermes Intermedius Termites , and lastly Nasutitermes Termites causing the least damage. Choosing the most suitable termite treatment requires careful evaluation of several critical elements, including how severe the infestation is, the type of termites species involved, where they are located, the design and materials of the building, and the surrounding conditions. Because each property presents its own challenges, the most effective termite control strategy is one that's customised to align with your particular needs and budget. With so many termite treatment brands, formulations, and application techniques to choose from, finding the right solution can feel overwhelming—particularly if you're not familiar with how the process works. We strongly advise avoiding low-cost, generic options, as they often fail to perform as well as trusted, high-quality alternatives. Over the years, Gerard has extensively trialled a broad range of treatments, ruling out those that didn't meet strict safety or performance standards, and consistently selecting the most reliable and effective solutions available. ![]() Termite Inspection CheltenhamEffective termite control begins with a thorough termite inspection, which is key to delivering an accurate quote and developing a treatment plan suited to your individual needs. With more than 14,000 inspections completed, Gerard's extensive experience ensures the use of advanced termite detection tools to precisely identify and manage any termite-related issues. ![]() Our termite inspections deliver a comprehensive evaluation of your property, allowing us to detect active termites, assess any structural damage, and identify environmental conditions that may encourage termite activity. We thoroughly inspect all key areas, including the roof void, subfloor, and both the interior and exterior of the building. Using advanced tools such as thermal imaging, moisture metres, Termatrac devices, dongers, high-powered torches, and termite-detection dogs where needed, we ensure every inspection is accurate and thorough. Following the assessment, you'll receive an eight-page report detailing our findings, giving you the essential knowledge to implement effective termite control measures and lower the risk of future infestations. Termite Inspection Cheltenham VideoWhen active termites are found, we usually start with a stage one treatment, which can involve methods like baiting, foaming, or dusting. This is typically followed by stage two, which may include applying a residual termiticide, continuing baiting, or installing a combined baiting and monitoring system. Regular termite inspections are an important part of this approach, helping to ensure lasting protection and minimise the risk of future infestations. Not all properties are suitable for every type of termite treatment. For instance, homes located on rocky ground or in areas with drainage challenges such as parts of Sydney's Inner West, Lower North Shore, Eastern Suburbs, Northern Suburbs and North Shore may not be ideal for residual barrier treatments like Termidor HE or Premise. These conditions often result in elevated moisture levels, which can impact the treatment's effectiveness and make it harder for it to bond correctly to surfaces such as rock or sandstone. In these cases, above ground baiting systems or dusting treatments using products such as Fipronil and Sentricon can offer a more effective solution when active termites are detected. If there are no obvious signs of termite activity, regular termite inspections are essential for catching early indicators before the situation escalates. Successful termite control depends on choosing the right treatment based on the specific conditions of your property to ensure the best long-term results. Termidor He CheltenhamTermidor HE is a powerful non-repellent residual soil termite treatment that provides protection for up to eight years. With 96 grams per litre of fipronil and developed by BASF, it is considered one of the most reliable residual termite control solutions available. Termidor HE delivers strong and long-lasting protection against termite infestations for all types of properties. ![]() Why Choose Termidor He Termite Control?1) Superior Effectiveness: Termidor HE enhances earlier treatment methods by achieving a more consistent distribution through the soil, forming a durable and long-lasting protective barrier around your property. 2) Colony Control: Thanks to its unique "Transfer Effect," termites that come into contact with Termidor HE unknowingly transfer the treatment to others within the colony. This sets off a chain reaction, allowing the active ingredient to circulate throughout the entire termite population, eventually resulting in the complete elimination of the infestation. 3) Hassle-Free: Termidor HE's advanced formulation minimises the need for extensive drilling and trenching, reducing disruption and helping to preserve the structural integrity of your home. 4) Faster Installation: Termidor HE streamlines the application process, helping to minimise delays and allowing you to enjoy the benefits of a termite-protected home more quickly. 5) Long-Lasting Protection: Termidor HE creates a strong bond with both soil and organic material, providing dependable protection for up to eight years, as long as the treated area remains dry and undisturbed. 6) Safe for Your Family and Pets: The active ingredient, Fipronil, is formulated to be safe for both humans and pets when used as directed, ensuring a safe and worry-free environment for your home and family. 7) Environmentally Friendly: Termidor HE requires significantly less water than traditional treatments, making it a more environmentally friendly and sustainable choice for long-term termite control. Premise 200 SC CheltenhamPremise 200 SC Termiticide is a trusted liquid termite treatment, known for its reliable performance. First introduced in 1995 as the original non-repellent termite solution developed specifically for residential properties, it contains 200 g/L of imidacloprid as the active ingredient. This powerful formulation forms a durable soil barrier, eliminating termites and providing protection for up to five years. Over the last 30 years, Gerard has completed thousands of treatments with Premise, consistently demonstrating its effectiveness and outstanding value. ![]() Why Choose Premise Termite Control?Premise termite treatments typically offer dependable protection for up to five years, though their effectiveness can vary based on factors like soil type and moisture content, making them suitable for a variety of property types. The treatment forms an undetectable barrier in the soil, which termites unknowingly travel through. As they move within the treated zone, they come into contact with the non-repellent ingredient, which gradually begins to eliminate them. Through natural behaviours such as grooming and cannibalism, the active ingredient spreads throughout the colony, often resulting in the complete collapse of the nest. ![]() Premise contains imidacloprid, a widely recognised active ingredient known for its strong performance in termite control. When applied according to the directions, it offers reliable protection without causing stains or emitting strong odours, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for both your family and pets. Premise 200 SC Termite Treatment VideoFipronil Dust CheltenhamFipronil dust is a proven termite control solution known for its speed and efficiency. This ultra-fine, talc-like powder is carefully applied in small amounts directly into active termite galleries. Under the right conditions, it's considered one of the quickest, most cost-effective, and reliable ways to eradicate termites. ![]() Fipronil's specialised formulation acts slowly, delivering extended effectiveness in termite control. The fine dust attaches to termites as they move through the colony, and during grooming, they unknowingly consume the fipronil, which eventually leads to their death. This delayed action prevents termites from recognising the source of the toxin, allowing it to spread silently throughout the colony. Visible results typically emerge within seven to fourteen days, demonstrating the treatment's success in thoroughly eradicating termite infestations. For complete and long-lasting termite protection, this treatment should be combined with a termite baiting and monitoring system, along with ongoing residual treatments. It is also important to schedule annual inspections to maintain its effectiveness and safeguard your property against future infestations. Fipronil dust is an ideal first-step treatment for swiftly addressing active termite infestations. Termite activity is often uncovered during renovation projects, and with expensive builders already on-site, delaying the work for months to install an above ground baiting system can be impractical. In these cases, we apply Fipronil dust directly into active termite galleries and follow up with a residual termite control treatment, enabling construction to continue with minimal disruption or delay. If I come across a Nasutitermes termite nest, whether it's a Nasutitermes Walkeri nest in a tree, a Nasutitermes Exitiosus mound on the ground, or signs of either species inside a structure, the most effective and efficient method to eliminate the infestation is by applying Fipronil dust directly into the active termite trails. ![]() Now, If I identify a termite nest or a large colony of approximately 30,000 termites from either the Coptotermes Acinaciformis or Schedorhinotermes Intermedius species, both known as some of the most aggressive and damaging termites found in Sydney, there is a strong likelihood of successfully eliminating the entire colony. To ensure complete success, it is essential to follow up with a residual termite treatment. Sentricon Above Ground Termite Baiting CheltenhamThe Sentricon Termite Baiting System provides a dependable method for eliminating termite colonies, whether the infestation is located inside or outside the property. The bait contains a cellulose-based food source mixed with Hexaflumuron, a chitin synthesis inhibitor. This active ingredient disrupts the termites' ability to produce chitin, which is essential for building their exoskeleton, interfering with their moulting process. As a result, the affected termites become more susceptible to fungal infections, triggering a chain reaction that eventually leads to the complete elimination of the entire colony, including the queen. The Sentricon system was introduced to Australia in 1997 by Dow AgroSciences Australia Ltd, becoming the country's first termite baiting and monitoring solution. Since then, it has gained a strong reputation for being both dependable and effective, consistently delivering positive results. Sentricon bait stations are installed in spots where termite activity has been detected, prompting the colony to begin feeding quickly. After installation, Micropest technicians carry out inspections every 30 days and top up the bait as needed. In the warmer months of spring and summer, it usually takes around three to six months to eliminate a standard colony. During the cooler winter period, when termite moulting slows down, the process may take a little longer. If an inspection reveals only a small number of termites, not sufficient to eliminate the entire colony with treatments such as Fipronil dust, we recommend beginning with Sentricon baiting. This is usually followed by applying a residual termiticide and setting up a long-term monitoring system like Trelona or Sentricon Always Active. This staged approach targets the current termite nest while also helping to reduce the risk of future infestations, providing ongoing protection for your property. The Sentricon Termite Baiting System delivers a trusted and reliable solution for termite control. Its carefully designed system efficiently manages termite infestations, giving homeowners confidence and solid protection against potential termite damage. Trelona Inground Termite Monitoring And Baiting System CheltenhamThe Trelona Termite Monitoring and Baiting System provides reliable protection against termite infestations. It functions by placing monitors in strategic locations around the property, each containing bait cartridges infused with Novaluron, a chitin synthesis inhibitor. As termites consume the bait, their moulting process is interrupted, which eventually causes the entire colony to collapse. ![]() These monitors are designed for long-term use, with an expected lifespan of around five years. Property owners should check them every three to six months, along with booking a yearly termite inspection. During these regular checks, it is often found that two or three bait cartridges have been consumed, which is usually sufficient to eliminate a termite colony. The Trelona system provides proactive termite protection, making it a dependable choice for properties regardless of whether active termite activity is present. Since its introduction, this advanced system has proven effective in reducing termite colonies across Sydney's Lower North Shore, Upper North Shore, Eastern Suburbs, Northern Suburbs, Inner West and Northern Beaches, showcasing its long-term reliability and success. Sentricon Always Active Inground Termite Monitoring And Baiting System CheltenhamThe Sentricon Always Active termite baiting and monitoring system is a reliable and efficient method for termite control. It works by installing discreet, low-profile monitoring stations around the perimeter of your property, each containing a bait rod infused with Hexaflumuron. This chitin synthesis inhibitor disrupts the termites' moulting process, eventually leading to the collapse of the entire colony. Property owners should inspect these baiting stations every three to six months and arrange a professional termite inspection annually. During these regular checks, it is often observed that two or three bait rods have been consumed, indicating that a sufficient amount of bait has been taken to effectively eliminate the termite nest. One of the key advantages of the Sentricon system is its preventative approach, which helps stop termite activity before it starts while also effectively managing existing infestations. Since its introduction, the system has consistently reduced termite colonies throughout Sydney's Lower North Shore, Upper North Shore, Eastern Suburbs, Northern Suburbs, Inner West and Northern Beaches, providing homeowners with long-term protection and peace of mind. Choosing the Sentricon Always Active system is a smart and environmentally conscious decision, trusted by termite control professionals for its reliable performance. It provides continuous year-round protection against termites, offering a durable and sustainable solution that suits both contemporary homes and environmentally aware property owners.
