Termite Control & Protection

There are different types of termite situations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the experts, they will likely to apply one of two general termite management strategies. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Typically, in Waterloo, termite experts will use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind control strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some specific benefits and should be considered.

It’s wise to first get a professional white ant exterminator come out to the home to fully assess the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection on treated places. However, if the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can sense the gaps and again access the home.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

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

Since termites do not detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is reduced.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar way, however they’re generally installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the building may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
