Termite Protection & Treatment

Termite Removal/Prevention Strategies

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let us look at them quickly. There’s two main strategies conducted for termite pest control: one is the complete eradication of the colony through baiting, and the other is using chemical treatments to produce a barrier between the residence and the white ants. Call us today to find out more about the costs involved with the various treatment options.

In Cattai, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ advantages that shouldn’t be dismissed.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

As termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent available today, and features a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which results in a flow on result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a home can make it tricky to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems
