Termite Removal

Termite treatments change in terms of their goals and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided, so they provide good protection in treated locations. If not all locations can be treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and get access via them once again.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

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

Since the termites do not identify non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a structure can make it difficult to create adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
