Conveniently based in Wahroonga, an Upper North Shore suburb just an Twelve-minute drive from Killara, 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 heads our termite control services in Killara. With over 35 years of hands-on experience in the pest control industry since the late 1980s, he has personally completed more than 7,000 termite treatments. His impressive track record, backed 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, Killara 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. These include the severity of the infestation, the species of termites involved, their location, the building's structure, and the surrounding environmental conditions. Because every termite problem is unique, the best treatment is one that is carefully tailored 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 because they often don't work as well as premium, reputable products. Over the years, Gerard has tested countless termite treatments, ruling out those that are ineffective or unsafe, and he sticks with the safest and most effective solutions. ![]() Termite Inspection KillaraEffective termite control always begins with a comprehensive termite inspection. This crucial first step allows us to provide you with an accurate quote and create the most effective treatment plan tailored to your specific circumstances. With over 14,000 termite inspections completed in his career, Gerard's extensive experience ensures that he employs the latest termite detection technology to efficiently address your termite issues. ![]() Our termite inspections offer a comprehensive evaluation of your property, enabling us to uncover active termites, assess existing damage, identify conditions that may promote termite activity, and determine which species are present. We meticulously inspect key areas, including 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. After the inspection, you'll receive a detailed eight-page report outlining our findings. This thorough approach equips us with the necessary information to develop effective termite treatment plans and address any potential risks of future infestations. Pest Control Killara VideoDepending on the situation, if active termites are found, termite control typically starts with a stage one treatment such as baiting, foaming, or dusting. This initial treatment is then followed by a stage two treatment, which may include a residual treatment, further termite baiting, or a combined baiting and monitoring system along with regular termite inspections. Not every termite control treatment is suitable for every property. Homes 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 depend on residual barriers. Water can deactivate these barriers, and they often do not bond effectively to sandstone or rock. In these cases, if active termites are detected, above-ground baiting systems or dusting treatments using products like Fipronil and Sentricon are generally more effective. However, if no termites are found, it's highly recommended 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 ensures the best results. Termidor He KillaraTermidor HE is a non-repellent, long-lasting residual soil termite treatment that provides protection for around eight years. Its active ingredient is fipronil, at a concentration of 96 grams per litre, and it is manufactured by BASF. Today, it is regarded 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 KillaraPremise 200 SC Termiticide is a proven termite liquid treatment that has stood the test of time. Introduced in 1995 as the first non-repellant termite treatment specifically designed to safeguard 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 protects your property for about five years. Over the past 30 years, I've carried out thousands of termite treatments with Premise, and it has consistently proven to be both effective and cost-efficient. ![]() Why Choose Premise Termite Control?A Premise termite treatment typically lasts for about five years. Its effectiveness varies based on factors such as soil type and moisture levels, making it a versatile option for a range of conditions. The treatment works by establishing a treated zone in the soil that termites cannot detect. As termites 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 is powered by imidacloprid, an advanced compound proven to be highly effective against termites. When applied correctly, Premise provides 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 KillaraFipronil dust is a potent 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 methods for eliminating 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 eventually leads to their death. This slow process stops termites from identifying the source of the toxin, preventing them from sealing off affected areas and reducing 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 crucial to combine this approach with a termite baiting and monitoring system along with residual termite treatments. Additionally, annual inspections are strongly recommended to ensure ongoing 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 find active termites, and with costly builders on site, they can't afford to pause work for six months while an above-ground baiting system takes effect. Instead, we apply fipronil dust directly to the active termite galleries and follow it up with a residual termite control treatment. This approach lets builders 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 evidence of either species inside a building—the quickest 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 KillaraThe Sentricon Termite Baiting System is a trusted and highly effective solution for eliminating termite colonies, whether used indoors or outdoors. Its bait is made 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, a crucial component of their exoskeleton. Over time, termites that cannot complete a proper molt become vulnerable to fungal infections, setting off a domino effect that eventually eradicates the entire colony, including the queen. Introduced in Australia by Dow AgroSciences Australia Ltd in 1997, Sentricon was the very first termite monitoring and baiting system launched in the country. Today, it remains one of the most popular and widely used systems, celebrated for its reliability and effectiveness. Sentricon bait is applied directly to active termite sites, ensuring immediate consumption. After the initial placement, Micropest professionals inspect the bait every 30 days and replace it as needed. Under ideal conditions during the spring and summer months, it typically takes three to six months to eliminate an average-sized termite colony. However, during the colder winter months, when molting slows down, the process may take longer. For situations where only a few termites are detected during inspections—insufficient to eradicate the colony with methods like Fipronil dust—Sentricon baiting is often recommended as an initial treatment. This stage-one strategy is typically followed by a stage-two treatment that includes a residual termiticide application and the installation of a long-term monitoring system, such as Trelona or Sentricon Always Active. This comprehensive method not only eliminates the termite nest but also significantly reduces the risk of future infestations, offering long-term protection for your property. The Sentricon Termite Baiting System is a proven and trusted method for termite control. Its innovative and structured approach effectively manages termite infestations, giving homeowners peace of mind and safeguarding their homes from potential termite damage. Trelona Inground Termite Monitoring And Baiting System KillaraThe Trelona Termite Monitoring and Baiting System is an advanced solution designed to protect structures from termite infestations. It uses several strategically placed monitors around a building, each loaded with bait cartridges that contain 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 about five years. They should be inspected every three to six months by the property owner and once a year during your termite inspection. Often, you'll find that two or three bait cartridges have been used during these checks, which is typically enough to eliminate a termite colony. The Trelona system offers proactive protection, making it an effective solution for properties whether or not they currently have termite issues. Since its launch, this innovative system has noticeably reduced termite nests throughout Sydney's Upper and Lower North Shore, proving its effectiveness and reliability. Sentricon Always Active Inground Termite Monitoring And Baiting System KillaraThe Sentricon Always Active termite baiting and monitoring system is a cutting-edge and highly effective method 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 chitin synthesis inhibitor, disrupts the termites' molting process, eventually leading to the complete eradication of the colony. These baiting monitors should be inspected by the property owner every three to six months, with a professional termite inspection scheduled once a year. Often, you'll notice that two or three bait rods have been consumed during these checks, which indicates 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. Not only does it help prevent termite activity before it begins, but it also effectively manages any infestations that are already present. Since its introduction, this system has significantly reduced termite nests across Sydney's Upper and Lower North Shore, providing property owners with 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.
