Termite Removal

There are numerous potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at them briefly. There are two main strategies conducted for termite control: one is the total eradication of the colony with baiting, and next is with chemical treatment to create a barrier between the building and the white ants. Call us today for additional information on the costs associated with the various treatment options.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants can identify these gaps and could potentially get in.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and so they won’t avoid the treated areas. Because of this, termites will go over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual insects pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Since termites can not identify non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is much reduced.

The commonly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years following application.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be exterminated, even though 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.

In Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not impacted by weather
• Safe for the kids and pets
• Ecologically smart
