There are various types of termite situations therefore the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite removal strategies. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Typically, in Belmore, termite specialists make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred method removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has specific benefits and should be considered.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

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

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after contact with them. Additionally, termites will transfer these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Since the termites do not identify non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain access via gaps.

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the dwelling by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been attacking. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be exterminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are typically placed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the home design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
