Termite Removal/Prevention Processes

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer 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 due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Because termites don’t identify non-repellents, they will not recognise treated and untreated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is regularly used to eliminate termites in your dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest 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 may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against termites
• Impervious to weather conditions
• Safe for kids and pets
• Ecologically friendly

How You Can Tell If Your House Is Infested With Termites

A number of signs that you could have a termite infestation include:

• Small holes in the drywall or timber
• Wood which is damaged and disintegrating
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or under the floor
• Colonys or mounds in trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony
