Termite Removal

You will find several kinds of termite infestations and hence the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the professionals, they will likely to apply one of two general termite management strategies. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Termite prevention in Woollahra homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, baiting and interception to kill the termite colonys can bring some definate advantages that cannot be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection on treated locations. However, if the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can identify these breaks and once again access the property.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

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

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable 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

• Flexible protection against termites
• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe for youngsters and pets
• Eco-friendly
