Removing & Managing Termites

This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Termite removal in Lakemba homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for killing the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys can have some definate benefits that cannot be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites can’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain access through breaks.

The common used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures 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 nest can be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

In Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
