Termite Removal

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

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

To ensure the job is carried out right, it’s advised to have a reliable pest exterminator in to review the damage.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites can recognise the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated areas, the potential for termite ingress through non-treated gaps is far lower.

The most commonly used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood they were eating up to now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly situated around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the home design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Not influenced by weather
