Managing & Removing Termites

There are several types of termite situations so the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the specialists, they will likely to apply one of two general termite prevention systems. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

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

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or locations cannot be treated because of access issues, the termites may identify the gaps and gain ingress through those areas.

The often frequently applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

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

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

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is frequently used to erradicate termites in the property, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

The entire colony can be destroyed in this manner, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are typically placed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the residence design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe for all the family including pets
