WE ARE ONE OF THE LONGEST ESTABLISHED TERMITE CONTROL COMPANIES ON THE NORTH SHORE OF SYDNEY.Gerard Dallow leads our termite control services in St Ives. Entering the pest control industry in the late 1980s, Gerard brings over three and a half decades of hands-on experience, having personally completed more than 7,000 termite treatments to date. His exceptional track record is further reinforced by hundreds of glowing Google reviews, earning him a reputation as one of the more trusted professionals in the field. There are five main methods to control termites, baiting, physical barriers, dusting, spraying and foaming. Important to note, St Ives 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 various factors, including the severity of the infestation, the species of termites involved, their location, the structure of the building, and environmental conditions. Every termite issue is unique; therefore, the most effective termite treatment will be the one that is carefully crafted to meet your particular needs and budget. With so many termite treatment brands, formulations, and methods on the market, figuring out what works best can be overwhelming for someone without experience. Our advice? Avoid cheaper, generic treatments, theyre often inferior to premium, reputable products. Gerard has tested countless termite treatments over the years, eliminating those that are ineffective or unsafe, and sticking with the safest and most effective solutions. ![]() Termite Inspection St IvesAny effective termite control should always start with a comprehensive termite inspection . This allows us to provide an accurate quote and determine the most effective treatment plan, under the specific circumstances. Gerard has successfully carried out over 14000 termite inspections in his career. So again, he is very experienced and carrys all the latest termite detection technology. ![]() Our termite inspections deliver an in-depth evaluation of your property to uncover active termites, assess any existing damage, identify conducive conditions, and determine the species present. We examine key areas, including the roof void, subfloor, and both the interior and exterior spaces. Using advanced tools like thermal imaging, moisture meters, Termatrac devices, dongers, high-powered torches, and occasionally termite-sniffing dogs. Following the inspection, we provide a detailed eight-page report. This approach furnishes us with information to develop termite treatment plans and address potential risks of future infestations. Termite Inspection St Ives VideoDepending on the circumstances if active termites are evident, typically, termite control begins with a stage one termite treatment like baiting, foaming, or dusting, followed by a stage two termite treatment such as a residual treatment, termite baiting or a baiting and monitoring system combined with regular termite inspections. Not all termite control treatments are suited for every property. For homes built on rocky terrain or areas with drainage issues, like a lot of Northern Beaches and North Shore homes. Termite treatments like Termidor HE or Premise, which rely on residual barriers, may not be effective. These barriers can fail as water deactivates their protective properties, and they will not bond to sandstone or rock. For these situations, above-ground baiting systems or dusting treatments using products such as Fipronil and Sentricon above ground baiting are more effective if active termites are evident. However, if no termites are currently evident, scheduling regular termite inspections is highly recommended to ensure early detection. Choosing the right method is critical for effective termite management, and understanding your specific propertys requirements can ensure the best results. Termidor He St IvesTermidor He is a non repellent long lasting ( aprox 8 years ) residual soil termite treatment, active ingredient being fipronil ( 96 grams per litre) and manufactured by BASF. At the present time would have to be the best residual termite control treatment on the market. This termite treatment ticks all the boxes. ![]() Why Choose Termidor He Termite Control?1) Superior Effectiveness: Unlike older treatments, Termidor HE spreads further through the soil, ensuring a consistent and more reliable protective zone around your home. 2) Colony Control: With its unique "Transfer Effect," termites exposed to Termidor HE unknowingly pass it to other members of their colony,which can lead to the elimination of the infestation. 3) Hassle-Free: Say goodbye to excessive drilling and trenching. The advanced technology of Termidor HE minimizes the amount of drill holes and trenching around your property, preserving the integrity of your home. 4) Faster Installation: Termidor HE allows for quicker application, meaning less time dealing with disruptions and more time enjoying your termite-free home. 5) Long-Lasting Protection: Termidor HE bonds strongly to soil and organic matter, providing protection that lasts for approximately eight years, so long as the treated soil remains undisturbed and dry. 6) Safe for Your Family and Pets. The active ingredient, fipronil, is carefully designed to be safe for people and animals when applied as directed, giving you ultimate peace of mind. 7) Environmentally Friendly: Termidor HE uses significantly less water compared to traditional treatments, contributing to more eco-conscious pest control solutions. Premise 200 SC St IvesPremise 200 SC Termiticide is a tried, true and tested termite liquid treatment, introduced in 1995 and marketed as the first non repellant termite treatment on the market specifically formulated to safeguard your home against termites. Containing 200 g/L of the active ingredient imidacloprid, it creates a residual barrier in the soil that not only assists in eliminating termites but also protects your property for approximately five years. I have conducted thousands of termite treatments with Premise over the last thirty years. It works well and is cost effective. ![]() Why Choose Premise Termite Control?A Premise termite treatment lasts for approximately five years. However, their effectiveness depends on factors like soil type and moisture levels, making it a highly versatile solution for varying conditions. It works by creating a treated zone in the soil that termites cannot detect. Termites forrage through the soil and go through the non repellant undetectable treatment, leading to eventual elimination. Additionally, termites spread the active ingredient to others in the colony through social interaction and cannibalism, which can sometimes eliminate the nest. ![]() Premise is powered by imidacloprid, an advanced compound proven to be highly effective against termites. When correctly applied, Premise offers protection without staining surfaces or emitting strong odors, ensuring its safe for your home and family. Premise 200 SC Termite Treatment VideoFipronil Dust St IvesFipronil dust is an effective solution for controlling termites. This fine, talc-like dust is blowen in very small amounts directly into active termite galleries. When used under ideal conditions, fipronil dust offers one of the fastest, most cost-effective, and efficient ways to eliminate termites. ![]() The unique properties of fipronil work gradually but effectively. The dust sticks to termites as they move through the colony. Termites ingest the fipronil when they groom each other, ultimately leading to their demise. This slow process ensures termites cannot identify the source of the toxicity, preventing them from blocking off affected areas and reducing colony-wide deaths. The treatment typically takes 7 to 14 days to show results and is highly effective. However, for comprehensive, long-term termite protection, combining this approach with a termite baiting and monitoring system and residual termite treatments is essential. To maintain termite control, annual inspections are highly recommended. Fipronil dust is a handy stage one termite treatment when you have found active termites in your house and to want to remove them quickly. A lot of clients ring me when they are renovating and find active termites. They have very expensive builders at their house and can not afford to stop the renovation for six or so months for a above ground baiting system to work. So we dust the active termite galleries and follow it up with a residual termite control treatment. This enables the builders to continue with the least amount of down time. If I come across a Nasutitermes termite nest, whether it is a Nasutitermes Walkeri nest situated up in a tree, a Nasutitermes Exitiosus mound on the ground, or evidence of either species within a building. The fastest and most efficient way to eradicate the nest of this species of termites is by applying fipronil dust directly into the active termite leads. ![]() Now, if I detect a termite nest or a significant colony of approximately 30,000 termites of the Coptotermes Acinaciformis or Schedorhinotermes Intermedius species (both of which are among the most aggressive and destructive termites found in Sydney), the chances of eliminating the termite colony is high. Important to note it is essential to follow this with a residual termite treatment. Sentricon Above Ground Termite Baiting St IvesThe Sentricon Termite Baiting System is a trusted and highly effective method for eliminating termite colonies, suitable for both internal and external applications. At its core, Sentricon bait comprises a cellulose-based food substrate laced with Hexaflumuron, a powerful chitin synthesis inhibitor. This active ingredient interrupts termites' molting process by disrupting their ability to produce chitin, a critical component of their exoskeleton. Over time, termites with incomplete molts succumb to fungal infections, creating a domino effect that eradicates the entire colony, including the queen. Launched in Australia by Dow AgroSciences Australia Ltd in 1997, Sentricon was the very first termite monitoring and baiting system introduced in the country. Today, it remains the most popular and widely used system, celebrated for its reliability and effectiveness. Sentricon bait is directly applied to active termite sites, ensuring immediate consumption. Following the initial placement, Micropest professionals inspect the bait every thirty days, replacing it as needed. Under optimal conditions in the spring and summer months, it typically takes three to six months to eliminate an average-sized termite colony. However, during colder winter months, when molting slows, the process may take longer. For situations where a small number of termites are found during inspections, insufficient for colony eradication through methods like Fipronil dust, Sentricon baiting is often recommended as an initial treatment. This stage-one strategy is typically followed by a residual termiticide application (stage two) and the installation of a long-term monitoring system, such as Trelona or Sentricon Always Active. This comprehensive approach not only eradicates the termite nest but also significantly reduces the risk of future infestations, offering long-term protection for your property. The Sentricon Termite Baiting System stands as a tried, tested, and trusted solution. Its innovative and systematic approach ensures effective termite control, giving homeowners peace of mind and a safeguard against potential termite damage. Trelona Inground Termite Monitoring And Baiting System St IvesThe Trelona Termite Monitoring and Baiting System is an advanced solution designed to protect structures from termite infestations. This system consists of multiple monitors strategically placed around a building, each containing bait cartridges infused with Novaluron, a chitin synthesis inhibitor. When termites consume the bait, it disrupts their molting process, ultimately leading to the collapse of the entire nest. ![]() These monitors are highly durable, with a lifespan of approximately five years. They should be inspected every three to six months by the property owner and once a year as part of an annual termite inspection. It is not uncommon to find that 2-3 bait cartridges have already been consumed during regular checks, which is often sufficient to eliminate a termite colony. The Trelona system offers proactive protection, making it an effective solution for properties with and without existing termite problems. Since its introduction, this innovative system has significantly reduced termite nests across Sydney's Upper and Lower North Shore, affirming its effectiveness and reliability. Sentricon Always Active Inground Termite Monitoring And Baiting System St IvesThe Sentricon Always Active termite baiting and monitoring system is an innovative and highly effective approach to managing termite infestations. This system involves placing a series of discreet monitors around the perimeter of a structure, each loaded with a bait rod infused with Hexaflumuron. Hexaflumuron is a chitin synthesis inhibitor that disrupts the molting process in termites, ultimately leading to the eradication of the entire termite colony. These baiting monitors are checked every 3 to 6 months by the property owner and once annually during a professional termite inspection. It is common to discover that 2 or 3 bait rods have been consumed during these checks, indicating that enough bait has been ingested to effectively eliminate a termite nest. One of the key advantages of the Sentricon system is its proactive nature; it not only acts as a safeguard against potential termite activity but is also effective for existing infestations. Since its introduction, this system has significantly contributed to reducing termite nests across Sydneys Upper and Lower North Shore, providing long term protection and peace of mind for property owners. 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.
