Termite Treatment & Protection

Termites, also known as white ants, are a common sight in Australia. When they infest a structure, termites can rapidly create a great deal of damage, making it crucial to call your trusted Canterbury termite control provider.

Termite Removal/Management Systems

Termite treatments change regarding their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. The two major termite management strategies; trying to eradicate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments which try to make a barrier between the termites and the building to be protected. Call us today for more information on the cost of termite controls.

In Canterbury, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that should not be dismissed.

It is wise to first get a specialist white ant exterminator come out to the house to fully assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided, so they provide good protection for treated locations. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can recognise those gaps and get access through them.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

As termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures 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 white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
