Termite Removal/Management Systems

You will find different types of termite situations and so the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the specialists, they are going to apply one of two general termite prevention systems. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

In Alexandria, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ benefits that should not be dismissed.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify these gaps and gain ingress.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites can often pass these chemicals to other members of the colony, generating a compounding and efficient effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated places, the possibility of termite ingress through untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The common used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the nest may be eliminated even when the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, but they’re usually installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. These systems are useful when the design of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.
