across the country it is common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Prestons each year, making termite pest control so important.

Termite Removal

You will find different types of termite infestations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite management strategies. This may 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 Prestons, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that should not be ignored.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can discover these gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants will also pass these chemicals on to other members of the colony, generating a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites don’t identify non-repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is restricted.

The common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to erradicate termites from the house, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore creating a flow on effect.

In this way, the entire colony can be eliminated even when the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a home makes it hard to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting
