Typically, in Earlwood, termite specialists will use a chemical treatment as the preferred type removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has distinct advantages and should be considered.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor places can not be treated due to access issues, the termites will identify the gaps and attain access through those areas.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites will also transfer the chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated areas, the possibility of termite ingress through untreated gaps is lower.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a compounding result.

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

In Ground Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable 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.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Not affected by weather conditions
• No danger to kids & pets
