Termite Removal

You will find different kinds of termite situations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the specialists, they are going to apply one of two general termite removal processes. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Generally, in Darlinghurst, termite specialists make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred type management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has distinct benefits and should be considered.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection around treated areas. However, if the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can sense the breaks and once again access the house.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to 5 years and is a widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

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

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a house by positioning bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been attacking. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be exterminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a building makes it challenging to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
