Treatment For Termite Infestation

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold levels of damage to buildings across Canterbury each year, creating a large need for termite prevention.

Termite Removal & Prevention

You will find various kinds of termite situations and so the best treatments also vary. When you call in the professionals, they are likely to apply one of two general termite prevention processes. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical treatments are a more typical treatment to get rid of termites in Canterbury homes. However, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct benefits that should not be ignored.

It’s wise to first have a specialist termite exterminator visit the property to fully look at the situation.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor some locations can not be treated as a result of access difficulties, the termites can detect those breaks and gain ingress through them.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite access via non-treated gaps is far lower.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures 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 termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the nest can be eliminated even though the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a house can make it tricky to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather
• Safe to use around children and pets
