For more information on what these treatment options cost, give us a call now.

Generally, in Cammeray, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred method management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has distinct advantages and should also be considered.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can sense these breaks and access the house.

The most widely applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus resulting in a compounding result.

Since termites cannot detect non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the structure by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating. This soon kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this way, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
