Removing & Managing Termites

Chemical remedies are the more typical strategy to kill white ants in Lavender Bay homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct benefits which should not be forgotten.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some areas can’t be treated as a result of access issues, then termites will identify those breaks and attain ingress through those areas.

The often widely utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will also pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a flow on effect.

As termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning 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 white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in positions where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the house design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
