When you bring in the professionals, they will going to apply one of two general termite removal strategies. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is a widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a flow on result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated locations, the potential for termite access via non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from homes by placing 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.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is not known.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Not impacted by weather
• Safe to use around children and pets
• Eco-friendly

Common Indications Of A Termite Infestation

• Minute holes in the drywall or timber
• Wood that is damaged and breaking down
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or under the floor
• Obvious termite colonys & mounds in trees near the home
• Alates (winged termites) flying from the colony
