Based in Wahroonga—an Upper North Shore suburb just a seventeen-minute drive from Glenhaven—we specialise in delivering comprehensive termite control services for both residential and commercial properties. WE ARE ONE OF THE LONGEST ESTABLISHED TERMITE CONTROL COMPANIES ON THE HILLS DISTRICT OF SYDNEY.Gerard Dallow heads our termite control services in Glenhaven, bringing over 35 years of hands-on experience dating back to the late 1980s and having personally carried out more than 7,000 termite treatments. His outstanding track record, backed by hundreds of positive Google reviews, has established him as one of the most trusted experts in the industry. ![]() There are five main methods to control termites, baiting, physical barriers, dusting, spraying and foaming. Important to note, Glenhaven 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, including the severity of the infestation, the termites species present, their location, the building's structure, and the surrounding environment. As every termite issue is different, the most effective treatment is one that is tailored to your specific needs and budget. With a vast range of termite treatment brands, formulas, and methods available, selecting the right one can be overwhelming for those without experience. Our advice is straightforward: avoid cheap, generic treatments, as they often lack the effectiveness of premium, trusted products. Over the years, Gerard has tested numerous termite treatments, discarding those that are ineffective or unsafe, and he consistently selects only the safest and most reliable solutions. ![]() Termite Inspection GlenhavenEffective termite control always starts with a thorough termite inspection, an essential first step that allows us to provide an accurate quote and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs. With over 14,000 inspections completed, Gerard's extensive experience enables him to use the latest termite detection technology to quickly identify and resolve your termite issues. ![]() Our termite inspections offer a thorough assessment of your property, enabling us to detect active termites, assess any damage, and identify conditions that may encourage termite activity. We meticulously examine critical areas—including the roof void, subfloor, and both the interior and exterior of your property—using advanced tools such as thermal imaging, moisture metres, Termatrac devices, dongers, high-powered torches, and occasionally termite-sniffing dogs. Following the inspection, you will receive a detailed eight-page report outlining our findings, equipping us with all the essential information to develop effective termite treatment plans and minimise the risk of future infestations. Termite Inspection Glenhaven VideoIf active termites are detected, we usually start with a stage one treatment, which may involve baiting, foaming, or dusting. Once this initial phase is completed, we move on to a stage two treatment, which could involve applying a residual termiticide, additional baiting, or implementing a combined baiting and monitoring system, all reinforced by regular termite inspections. Not all properties are suitable for every termite treatment. For instance, homes built on rocky terrain or in areas prone to drainage issues—such as those in the Northern Beaches and North Shore—may not be ideal for residual barrier treatments like Termidor HE or Premise, as water can compromise the barrier and it often struggles to adhere effectively to sandstone or rock. In these cases, when active termites are present, the most effective approach is usually to use above-ground baiting systems or dusting treatments with products like Fipronil and Sentricon. However, if no termites are detected, scheduling regular termite inspections is a smart precaution for early detection. Selecting the appropriate treatment method is essential for effective termite control, and understanding your property's specific needs ensures the best possible results. Termidor He GlenhavenTermidor HE is a non-repellent, long-lasting residual soil termite treatment that provides protection for up to eight years. It contains fipronil at a concentration of 96 grams per litre and is manufactured by BASF. Recognised as one of the most effective residual termite control treatments available, Termidor HE is a dependable choice for long-term termite protection. ![]() 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 GlenhavenPremise 200 SC Termiticide is a trusted and reliable termite liquid treatment, recognised for its consistent performance. Introduced in 1995 as the first non-repellent termite treatment designed to protect homes, it contains 200 g/L of imidacloprid as its active ingredient. This formulation creates a residual barrier in the soil that not only eliminates termites but also provides protection for up to five years. Over the past 30 years, Gerard has conducted thousands of termite treatments using Premise, and it has continually proven to be both effective and cost-efficient. ![]() Why Choose Premise Termite Control?A Premise termite treatment remains effective for around five years, though its performance can vary depending on factors such as soil type and moisture levels, making it a flexible solution for different conditions. The treatment creates an undetectable zone in the soil, allowing termites to pass through without realising they are in a treated area. As they move through, they unknowingly come into contact with the non-repellent formula, leading to their eventual elimination. Additionally, termites transfer the active ingredient to other colony members through social interactions and cannibalism, often 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 GlenhavenFipronil dust is a highly effective solution for termite control. This fine, talc-like powder is applied in small amounts directly into active termite galleries. Under ideal conditions, it is one of the fastest, most cost-effective, and efficient methods for eliminating termites. ![]() Fipronil's distinctive properties make it a slow-acting yet highly effective termite treatment. The fine dust clings to termites as they move through the colony, and during grooming, they unknowingly ingest the fipronil, ultimately leading to their death. This gradual process prevents termites from identifying the source of the toxin, ensuring they do not avoid treated areas and maximising its effectiveness across the colony. In most cases, visible results appear within seven to fourteen days, making this method a powerful solution for termite control. For comprehensive and long-term termite protection, it is essential to integrate this treatment with a termite baiting and monitoring system alongside residual termite treatments. Additionally, scheduling annual termite inspections is strongly recommended to maintain effectiveness and protect your property from future infestations. Fipronil dust is a highly effective first-stage treatment for rapidly eliminating active termites. During renovations, clients often encounter termite activity, and with costly builders on-site, delaying work for six months to use an above-ground baiting system is not practical. Instead, we apply Fipronil dust directly into active termite galleries, followed by a residual termite control treatment, ensuring construction projects continue with minimal disruption. If I find 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 within a building—the quickest and most effective way to eliminate it is by applying Fipronil dust directly into the active termite leads. ![]() If I come across a termite nest or a large colony of around 30,000 termites from the Coptotermes Acinaciformis or Schedorhinotermes Intermedius species—two of the most aggressive and destructive in Sydney—there is a high likelihood of successfully eliminating the colony. However, to ensure complete eradication, it is crucial to follow up with a residual termite treatment. Sentricon Above Ground Termite Baiting GlenhavenThe Sentricon Termite Baiting System is a trusted solution for eliminating termite colonies in both indoor and outdoor environments. Its bait consists of a cellulose-based food source infused with Hexaflumuron, a powerful chitin synthesis inhibitor. This active ingredient disrupts the termites' ability to produce chitin, a crucial component of their exoskeleton, preventing them from molting properly. As a result, the affected termites become susceptible to fungal infections, initiating a chain reaction that ultimately leads to the collapse of the entire colony, including the queen. Introduced in Australia by Dow AgroSciences Australia Ltd in 1997, Sentricon was the country's first termite monitoring and baiting system, and it remains one of the most trusted and widely used solutions due to its proven reliability and effectiveness. Sentricon bait is applied directly to active termite sites, ensuring immediate consumption, and once in place, Micropest professionals inspect the bait every 30 days, replenishing it as required. Under optimal conditions during spring and summer, it typically takes three to six months to eliminate an average termite colony. However, in colder winter months, when termite molting slows, the process may take slightly longer. If an inspection reveals only a small number of termites—insufficient to eliminate the colony using methods like Fipronil dust—we recommend starting treatment with Sentricon baiting as the first stage. This is typically followed by a second stage, which includes applying a residual termiticide and installing a long-term monitoring system, such as Trelona or Sentricon Always Active. This multi-step approach not only eradicates the existing termite nest but also significantly reduces the risk of future infestations, ensuring long-term protection for your property. The Sentricon Termite Baiting System is a proven and reliable solution for termite control. Its innovative and structured approach effectively manages termite infestations, providing homeowners with peace of mind and strong protection against potential termite damage. Trelona Inground Termite Monitoring And Baiting System GlenhavenThe Trelona Termite Monitoring and Baiting System is an advanced solution designed to protect structures from termite infestations. It consists of multiple strategically placed monitors around a building, each containing bait cartridges infused with Novaluron—a potent chitin synthesis inhibitor. As termites feed on the bait, their molting process is disrupted, ultimately leading to the collapse of the entire colony. ![]() These monitors are built to last for approximately five years, and property owners should check them every three to six months, with a professional termite inspection recommended annually. During these routine checks, it is common to find that two or three bait cartridges have been consumed, which is usually enough to eliminate a termite colony. The Trelona system offers proactive termite protection, making it a dependable solution for properties whether or not they have an active infestation. Since its introduction, this innovative system has greatly reduced termite nests across Sydney's Hills District, Upper North Shore, and Lower North Shore, demonstrating its long-term effectiveness and reliability. Sentricon Always Active Inground Termite Monitoring And Baiting System GlenhavenThe Sentricon Always Active termite baiting and monitoring system is a highly effective solution for termite control. It operates by strategically placing discreet monitoring stations around the perimeter of your property, each containing a bait rod infused with Hexaflumuron. This potent chitin synthesis inhibitor disrupts the termites' molting process, ultimately resulting in the complete elimination of the colony. Property owners should check these baiting monitors every three to six months, with a professional termite inspection recommended annually. During these routine checks, it is common to find that two or three bait rods have been consumed, showing that enough bait has been ingested to effectively eliminate a termite nest. One of the main benefits of the Sentricon system is its proactive approach, as it not only prevents termite activity before it starts but also eliminates existing infestations. Since its introduction, this system has played a significant role in reducing termite nests across Sydney's Hills District and the Upper and Lower North Shore, providing property owners with 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.
