Remedy For Termite Infestation

Termite Control/Protection Processes

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are typically utilised for termite management in Ermington; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can detect the breaks and once again access the house.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and so they do not stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants go through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual termites pass the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a flow on effect.

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

The regularly applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your house by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire nest can be eliminated even when the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly installed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for the kids and pets
• Green
