WE ARE ONE OF THE LONGEST ESTABLISHED TERMITE CONTROL COMPANIES ON THE HILLS DISTRICT OF SYDNEY.Gerard Dallow heads our termite control services in Cherrybrook. With over 35 years of hands-on experience dating back to the late 1980s, he has personally completed more than 7,000 termite treatments. His exceptional record, backed by hundreds of glowing Google reviews, has earned him a reputation as one of the most trusted experts in the field. ![]() There are five main methods to control termites, baiting, physical barriers, dusting, spraying and foaming. Important to note, Cherrybrook 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 right termite treatment depends on several factors—like how severe the infestation is, which termites species are involved, where they're located, the building's structure, and the local environment. Since every termite problem is unique, the best treatment is one that's customised to suit your needs and budget. With so many termite treatment brands, formulas, and methods on the market, it can be overwhelming for someone without experience to decide on the best option. Our advice is simple: avoid cheap, generic treatments because they usually don't work as well as premium, reputable products. Over the years, Gerard has trialled many termite treatments, discarding those that prove ineffective or unsafe, and he always opts for the safest and most effective solutions. ![]() Termite Inspection CherrybrookEffective termite control always kicks off with a thorough termite inspection. This crucial first step lets us give you an accurate quote and put together a treatment plan tailored to your needs. With over 14,000 inspections under his belt, Gerard's extensive experience means he uses the latest termite detection technology to quickly sort out your termite issues. ![]() Our termite inspections give your property a full evaluation, helping us spot active termites, check for any damage, and identify conditions that might encourage termite activity. We carefully inspect key areas—including the roof void, subfloor, and both the inside and outside of your property—using advanced tools like thermal imaging, moisture meters, Termatrac devices, dongers, high-powered torches, and even termite-sniffing dogs at times. Once the inspection is complete, you'll receive a detailed eight-page report outlining our findings. This comprehensive approach gives us all the info we need to develop effective termite treatment plans and address any potential risks of future infestations. Termite Inspection Cherrybrook VideoIf active termites are found, we usually kick things off with a stage one treatment – this might involve baiting, foaming, or dusting. Once that first phase is done, we move on to a stage two treatment. This can include applying a residual termiticide, extra baiting, or even a combined baiting and monitoring system – all supported by regular termite inspections. Not every termite treatment is right for every property. For example, homes built on rocky terrain or in areas with drainage issues—like many on the Northern Beaches and North Shore—may not work well with treatments such as Termidor HE or Premise that rely on residual barriers. In these conditions, water can weaken the barrier, and it often doesn't bond well to sandstone or rock. In these cases, if active termites are detected, the best option is usually to use above-ground baiting systems or dusting treatments with products like Fipronil and Sentricon. However, if no termites are found, it's smart to book regular termite inspections for early detection. Choosing the right method is key for effective termite management, and understanding your property's unique needs will help ensure the best outcomes. Termidor He CherrybrookTermidor HE is a non-repellent, durable residual soil termite treatment that offers protection for about eight years. It uses fipronil at a concentration of 96 grams per litre and is manufactured by BASF. Widely recognised as one of the top residual termite control treatments available, Termidor HE truly ticks all the boxes. ![]() Why Choose Termidor He Termite Control?1) Superior Effectiveness: Termidor HE outperforms older treatments by spreading further through the soil, ensuring a consistent and reliable protective barrier around your home. 2) Colony Control: Thanks to its unique "Transfer Effect," termites that come into contact with Termidor HE can unknowingly pass it on to other members of their colony, which may eventually result in the complete elimination of the infestation. 3) Hassle-Free: Say goodbye to needless drilling and trenching. Termidor HE's advanced technology minimizes the number of drill holes and the extent of trenching around your property, helping to preserve your home's integrity. 4) Faster Installation: Termidor HE speeds up the application process, reducing downtime so you can enjoy your termite-free home sooner. 5) Long-Lasting Protection: Termidor HE bonds strongly with soil and organic matter, offering protection for about eight years—as long as the treated soil remains dry and undisturbed. 6) Safe for Your Family and Pets: The active ingredient, fipronil, is carefully formulated to be safe for both people and pets when used as directed, giving you complete peace of mind. 7) Environmentally Friendly: Termidor HE uses significantly less water than traditional treatments, making it an eco-friendly option for pest control. Premise 200 SC CherrybrookPremise 200 SC Termiticide is a tried and trusted termite liquid treatment known for its steady performance. Launched in 1995 as the first non-repellant termite treatment designed to protect your home, it contains 200 g/L of imidacloprid as its active ingredient. This formula creates a residual barrier in the soil that not only helps eliminate termites but also shields your property for about five years. Over the past 30 years, I've carried out thousands of termite treatments using Premise, and it has proven time and again to be both effective and cost-efficient. ![]() Why Choose Premise Termite Control?A Premise termite treatment usually stays effective for about five years. Its performance depends on factors like soil type and moisture levels, making it a versatile option for various conditions. The treatment creates a zone in the soil that termites can't detect. As they move through this area, they unknowingly come into contact with the non-repellant formula, which eventually leads to their elimination. Additionally, termites share the active ingredient with other colony members through social interactions and even cannibalism, sometimes resulting in the complete eradication of the nest. ![]() Premise relies on imidacloprid, a modern compound known for its strong effectiveness against termites. When applied correctly, it offers robust protection without staining surfaces or releasing strong odors, ensuring it remains safe for your home and family. Premise 200 SC Termite Treatment VideoFipronil Dust CherrybrookFipronil dust is a highly effective solution for termite control. This fine, talc-like powder is applied in tiny amounts directly into active termite galleries. When conditions are ideal, it proves to be one of the fastest, most cost-effective, and efficient ways to eliminate termites. ![]() Fipronil's unique properties work slowly but effectively. The fine dust clings to termites as they move about the colony, and when they groom one another, they ingest the fipronil, which eventually causes their death. This gradual process stops termites from working out where the toxin is coming from, so they don't block off treated areas, helping to reduce fatalities across the colony. Typically, you can expect to see results within 7 to 14 days, making this treatment highly effective. However, for comprehensive, long-term termite protection, it's essential to combine this method with a termite baiting and monitoring system, along with residual termite treatments. We also strongly recommend annual inspections to ensure your termite control stays effective over time. Fipronil dust is a highly effective first-stage treatment that quickly removes active termites. Often, during renovations, clients let us know they've spotted active termites, and with expensive builders on site, halting work for six months while waiting for an above-ground baiting system just isn't an option. Instead, we apply fipronil dust directly into the active termite galleries and follow it up with a residual termite control treatment, allowing builders to keep their projects moving with minimal disruption. If I detect 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 building—the fastest and most effective method to eliminate it is to apply fipronil dust directly into the active termite leads. ![]() If I come across a termite nest or a large colony of around 30,000 termites belonging to the Coptotermes Acinaciformis or Schedorhinotermes Intermedius species—which are among the most aggressive and destructive in Sydney—the chances of eradicating the colony are high. However, it's essential to follow this up with a residual termite treatment to ensure complete elimination. Sentricon Above Ground Termite Baiting CherrybrookThe Sentricon Termite Baiting System is a tried and trusted way to eliminate termite colonies, whether indoors or outdoors. Its bait is made from a cellulose-based food substrate infused with Hexaflumuron, a powerful inhibitor of chitin synthesis. This active ingredient disrupts the termite molting process by interfering with their ability to produce chitin—a key component of their exoskeleton. Over time, termites that can't complete a proper molt become vulnerable to fungal infections, setting off a domino effect that eventually wipes out the entire colony, including the queen. Introduced in Australia by Dow AgroSciences Australia Ltd in 1997, Sentricon was the first termite monitoring and baiting system to hit the market in the country. Today, it remains one of the most popular and trusted systems, well known for its reliability and effectiveness. Sentricon bait is applied straight to active termite sites so it's consumed straight away. Once the bait is in position, Micropest professionals check it every 30 days and replace it as needed. Under the best conditions during spring and summer, it usually takes three to six months to eliminate an average termite colony; however, in the colder winter months, when termite molting slows down, the process might take a little longer. In cases where an inspection only reveals a few termites—insufficient to wipe out the colony with methods like Fipronil dust—we recommend starting with Sentricon baiting as the first stage of treatment. This initial phase is usually followed by a second stage, which involves applying a residual termiticide and setting up a long-term monitoring system, such as Trelona or Sentricon Always Active. This multi-step approach not only clears the current termite nest but also greatly reduces the risk of future infestations, giving your property lasting protection. The Sentricon Termite Baiting System is a time-tested and reliable solution for termite control. Its innovative and systematic approach effectively manages termite infestations, giving homeowners peace of mind and strong protection against potential termite damage. Trelona Inground Termite Monitoring And Baiting System CherrybrookThe Trelona Termite Monitoring and Baiting System is an advanced solution designed to safeguard structures against termite infestations. It features multiple strategically positioned monitors around a building, each loaded with bait cartridges infused with Novaluron—a powerful inhibitor of chitin synthesis. As termites feed on this bait, their molting process is disrupted, ultimately resulting in the collapse of the entire nest. ![]() These monitors are built to last approximately five years. Property owners should inspect them every three to six months, and a professional termite inspection is recommended once a year. Typically, during these routine checks, you'll notice that two or three bait cartridges have been consumed, which is usually enough to eliminate a termite colony. The Trelona system provides proactive protection, making it an effective solution for properties whether or not they are currently experiencing termite issues. Since its introduction, this innovative system has significantly reduced termite nests across Sydney's Hills District, Upper and Lower North Shore, proving its reliability and effectiveness. Sentricon Always Active Inground Termite Monitoring And Baiting System CherrybrookThe Sentricon Always Active termite baiting and monitoring system is a cutting-edge solution for controlling termite infestations. It works by strategically placing a series of discreet monitors around the perimeter of your building, each loaded with a bait rod infused with Hexaflumuron. This potent chitin synthesis inhibitor disrupts the termites' molting process, ultimately leading to the complete elimination of the colony. These baiting monitors should be inspected by the property owner every three to six months, with a professional termite inspection arranged once a year. Often, you'll notice that two or three bait rods have been used during these routine checks, which shows that enough bait has been ingested to effectively eliminate a termite nest. One of the main advantages of the Sentricon system is its proactive approach. It stops termite activity before it even begins, while also dealing with any infestations already in progress. Since its launch, this system has noticeably reduced termite nests across Sydney's Hills District as well as the Upper and Lower North Shore, giving property owners long-term protection and peace of mind. By choosing the Sentricon Always Active system, you're investing in a proven, environmentally responsible, and expert-backed solution that helps safeguard your property from termites.
