Termite Removal

Contact us today for additional information about the costs involved with the various treatment options.

Typically, in Gordon, termite specialists will make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred form management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has specific benefits and should also be considered.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a gap in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover these gaps and gain access.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of as many as five years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and so they won’t avoid the chemical. Because of this, white ants pass over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Because the termites don’t detect non repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is reduced.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning 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 return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this manner, the nest can be eliminated even though the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another area.

In Ground Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Poor weather does not impact control
• No danger for the kids & pets
• An environmentally smart solution
