Termite Removal/Management Strategies

You will find various kinds of termite infestations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite management strategies. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

In Birchgrove, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ benefits that shouldn’t be dismissed.

It is important to engage the services of a specialist pest exterminator to look at your property so that the damage can be fully reviewed.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor areas cannot be treated because of access difficulties, then termites may identify those breaks and gain ingress via those areas.

The most widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites will often transfer these chemicals to other members of the colony, generating a flow on and efficient effect.

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat features a residual life of up to eight years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the wood that they were infesting until recently. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are typically placed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the house design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
