Termite Removal

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at each quickly.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since termites don’t identify non repellents, they will not recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is reduced.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is regularly used to erradicate termites in your dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a flow on result.

In this fashion, the entire colony can be eliminated even when the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly placed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the structure design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
