Control & Pest Control Against Termites

Managing & Removing Termites

There’s two main strategies carried out for termite pest control: one is the complete eradication of the colony through baiting, and next is using chemical treatment to create a barrier between the house and the termites. Contact us today for additional information on the costs involved with the various treatment options.

Chemical treatments are a more typical strategy to get rid of white ants in Canterbury homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has some distinct advantages which cannot be forgotten.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites will identify these gaps and can potentially gain access.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will go through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants may also transfer the chemicals on to other members of the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient result.

Since termites do not detect non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the structures that they have been eating previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

The entire nest may be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar way, however they’re frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are useful when the design of the building may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not affected by weather
• No danger to kids or pets

What Destruction Can Termites Cause?
