Control & Removal Against Termites

Termite or white ant infestations are rather frequent around Australia. They are responsible for causing significant damage to many structures in Elderslie each year. That’s why termite control and removal is very important.

Removing & Managing Termites

You can find various types of termite situations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the professionals, they are going to apply one of two general termite removal systems. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Typically, chemical remedies the most commonly used management strategy for termite treatment in Elderslie. However, there are several advantages to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

It is advantageous to engage the expertise of an expert white ant exterminator to look at your home so that the damage can be thoroughly assessed.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some areas cannot be treated as a result of access problems, the termites may identify those gaps and gain access through those areas.

The often commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites don’t identify non-repellents, they will not recognise treated and untreated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of 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 colony can be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the colony 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 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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
