Conveniently based in Wahroonga an Upper North Shore suburb just a nine-minute drive from Gordon we specialise in comprehensive termite control for both residential and commercial properties. WE ARE ONE OF THE LONGEST ESTABLISHED TERMITE CONTROL COMPANIES ON THE UPPER NORTH SHORE OF SYDNEY.Gerard Dallow leads our termite control services in Gordon. With over 35 years of hands-on experience in the pest control industry dating back to the late 1980s, he has personally completed more than 7,000 termite treatments. His exceptional track record, supported by hundreds of glowing Google reviews, has earned him a reputation as one of the most trusted professionals in the field. ![]() There are five main methods to control termites, baiting, physical barriers, dusting, spraying and foaming. Important to note, Gordon 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 type of termites present, their location, the building's structure, and the surrounding environmental conditions. Since every termite issue is unique, the best treatment is one that is carefully customised to meet your specific needs and budget. With so many termite treatment brands, formulas, and methods available, it can be overwhelming for someone without experience to figure out what works best. Our advice is simple: avoid cheap, generic treatments, as they often don't perform as well as premium, reputable products. Over the years, Gerard has rigorously tested countless termite treatments, ruling out those that are ineffective or unsafe, and he consistently opts for the safest and most effective solutions. ![]() Termite Inspection GordonEffective termite control always begins with a comprehensive termite inspection. This crucial first step enables us to provide an accurate quote and craft the most effective treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. With over 14,000 termite inspections under his belt, Gerard's extensive experience ensures that he employs the latest termite detection technology to efficiently resolve your termite issues. ![]() Our termite inspections offer a complete evaluation of your property, enabling us to detect active termites, assess any existing damage, and identify conditions that might promote termite activity. We meticulously examine key areas such as the roof void, subfloor, and both the interior and exterior of your property, using advanced tools like thermal imaging, moisture meters, Termatrac devices, dongers, high-powered torches, and occasionally termite-sniffing dogs. Once the inspection is complete, you'll receive a detailed eight-page report outlining our findings. This comprehensive approach provides the information needed to develop effective termite treatment plans and address any potential risks of future infestations. Termite Inspection Gordon VideoDepending on the situation, if active termites are detected, we usually start with a stage one treatment this could involve baiting, foaming, or dusting. Following this, a stage two treatment is implemented, which might include a residual treatment, further baiting, or a combined baiting and monitoring system, all supplemented by regular termite inspections. Not every termite control treatment is suitable for every property. Properties built on rocky terrain or in areas with drainage issues such as many on the Northern Beaches and North Shore may not respond well to treatments like Termidor HE or Premise that rely on residual barriers. In these conditions, water can deactivate the barrier, and it often fails to bond effectively to sandstone or rock. In these situations, if active termites are found, above-ground baiting systems or dusting treatments using products like Fipronil and Sentricon tend to work best. However, if no termites are detected, it's advisable to schedule regular termite inspections for early detection. Choosing the right method is crucial for effective termite management, and understanding your property's specific needs will help ensure the best results. Termidor He GordonTermidor HE is a non-repellent, long-lasting residual soil termite treatment that offers protection for around eight years. It features fipronil at a concentration of 96 grams per litre and is manufactured by BASF. Today, it is widely recognised as one of the best residual termite control treatments on the market—this treatment 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 GordonPremise 200 SC Termiticide is a time-tested termite liquid treatment that has consistently proven its reliability. Launched in 1995 as the first non-repellant termite treatment specifically designed to protect your home, it contains 200 g/L of imidacloprid as its active ingredient. This formulation creates a residual barrier in the soil that not only helps eliminate termites but also safeguards your property for approximately five years. Over the past 30 years, I've carried out thousands of termite treatments with Premise, and it has consistently demonstrated both effectiveness and cost efficiency. ![]() Why Choose Premise Termite Control?A Premise termite treatment typically remains effective for around five years. Its performance varies based on factors such as soil type and moisture levels, making it a versatile option for different conditions. The treatment works by creating a treated zone in the soil that termites cannot detect. As they move through this area, they unknowingly come into contact with the non-repellant treatment, which eventually leads to their elimination. Additionally, termites pass the active ingredient to other colony members through social interactions and even cannibalism, sometimes resulting in the complete eradication of the nest. ![]() Premise relies on imidacloprid, an advanced compound that has proven to be highly effective against termites. When applied correctly, it offers robust protection without staining surfaces or emitting strong odors, ensuring it remains safe for your home and family. Premise 200 SC Termite Treatment VideoFipronil Dust GordonFipronil dust is a highly effective termite control solution. This fine, talc-like dust is applied in very small amounts directly into active termite galleries. When conditions are optimal, fipronil dust stands out as one of the fastest, most cost-effective, and efficient ways to eliminate termites. ![]() Fipronil's unique properties work gradually yet effectively. The fine dust clings to termites as they move through the colony, and when they groom each other, they ingest the fipronil, which ultimately causes their death. This slow-acting mechanism prevents termites from pinpointing the source of the toxin, stopping them from sealing off treated areas and reducing fatalities throughout 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 approach with a termite baiting and monitoring system along with residual termite treatments. Additionally, annual inspections are highly recommended to maintain effective termite control. Fipronil dust is a practical stage one termite treatment when active termites are discovered in your home and need to be removed quickly. Many clients call during renovations when they detect active termites, and with costly builders on site, they can't afford to halt work for six months while an above-ground baiting system takes effect. Instead, we apply fipronil dust directly to the active termite galleries and then follow up with a residual termite control treatment. This approach allows builders to continue their work with minimal downtime. 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 building—the fastest and most effective way to eliminate the nest is to apply fipronil dust directly into the active termite leads. ![]() If I detect a termite nest or a large colony around 30,000 termites of the Coptotermes Acinaciformis or Schedorhinotermes Intermedius species, which are among the most aggressive and destructive in Sydney—the likelihood of eliminating the colony is high. However, it's crucial to follow this up with a residual termite treatment. Sentricon Above Ground Termite Baiting GordonThe Sentricon Termite Baiting System is a trusted and highly effective solution for eliminating termite colonies in both indoor and outdoor settings. Its bait is formulated from a cellulose-based food substrate infused with Hexaflumuron a potent inhibitor of chitin synthesis. This active ingredient disrupts the termites' molting process by interfering with their ability to produce chitin, which is essential for their exoskeleton. Over time, termites that are unable to complete a proper molt become susceptible to fungal infections, setting off a domino effect that ultimately eradicates 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 launched in the country. Today, it remains one of the most popular and trusted systems, known for its reliability and effectiveness. Sentricon bait is applied directly to active termite sites to ensure it is immediately consumed. After the bait is in place, Micropest professionals check it every 30 days and replace it as needed. Under optimal conditions during the spring and summer, it typically takes three to six months to eliminate an average termite colony. However, in the colder winter months, when termites molt more slowly, the process may take a little longer. In situations where inspections reveal only a small number of termites insufficient to eradicate the colony with methods like Fipronil dust Sentricon baiting is often recommended as the initial stage of treatment. This first step is typically followed by a second stage that involves applying a residual termiticide and installing a long-term monitoring system, such as Trelona or Sentricon Always Active. This comprehensive approach not only eliminates the termite nest but also significantly reduces the risk of future infestations, providing long-term protection for your property. The Sentricon Termite Baiting System is a tried and trusted method for termite control. Using an innovative, systematic approach, it effectively manages termite infestations. This means homeowners enjoy peace of mind and strong protection against potential termite damage. Trelona Inground Termite Monitoring And Baiting System GordonThe Trelona Termite Monitoring and Baiting System is an advanced solution engineered to safeguard structures from termite infestations. It employs several strategically placed monitors around a building, each equipped with bait cartridges infused with Novaluron a chitin synthesis inhibitor. When termites feed on the bait, their molting process is disrupted, eventually causing the entire nest to collapse. ![]() These monitors are built to last for about five years. They should be inspected by the property owner every three to six months, with a professional termite inspection conducted once a year. Often, you'll notice that two or three bait cartridges have been used during these regular checks, which is typically sufficient to eliminate a termite colony. The Trelona system offers proactive protection, making it an effective solution for properties regardless of whether they currently have termite issues. Since its launch, this innovative system has significantly reduced termite nests throughout Sydney's Upper and Lower North Shore, proving both its effectiveness and reliability. Sentricon Always Active Inground Termite Monitoring And Baiting System GordonThe Sentricon Always Active termite baiting and monitoring system is a state-of-the-art and highly effective solution for managing termite infestations. It works by strategically placing a series of discreet monitors around the perimeter of a building, with each monitor loaded with a bait rod infused with Hexaflumuron. This active ingredient, a potent chitin synthesis inhibitor, disrupts the termites' molting process, eventually leading to the complete eradication of the colony. These baiting monitors should be checked by the property owner every three to six months, and a professional termite inspection should be scheduled once a year. Typically, during these regular checks, you'll find that two or three bait rods have been consumed, indicating that enough bait has been ingested to effectively eliminate a termite nest. One of the key benefits of the Sentricon system is its proactive strategy. It not only prevents termite activity from starting but also efficiently handles any existing infestations. Since its introduction, this system has notably reduced termite nests across Sydney's Upper and Lower North Shore, offering property owners long-term protection and peace of mind. By choosing the Sentricon Always Active system, you are investing in a proven, environmentally responsible, and expert-backed solution to help protect your property from termites.
