Removing & Managing Termites

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at them briefly.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide good protection for treated areas. However, if not all locations are reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can identify the gaps and get access via them.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will transfer these chemicals to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites can’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a building by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been attacking. This soon kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

An entire colony can be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a structure can make it tricky to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not influenced by weather
• Safe for children and pets
• An environmentally smart solution
