Managing & Removing Termites

You will find various types of termite infestations therefore the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the specialists, they are likely to apply one of two general termite protection strategies. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical treatments are the more typical strategy to eliminate termites in Kirribilli homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct benefits which cannot be ignored.

It is necessary to have the white ant situation checked out by a professional bug exterminator to look at the damage and advise a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or places cannot be treated because of access difficulties, then termites can identify those breaks and attain access through those areas.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to five years and is a widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole nest may be eliminated even though the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?
