Termite Removal/Management Processes

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites may recognise the gaps and can sometimes get in.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because the termites do not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a flow on effect.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the home design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection system
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for kids and pets
• Environmentally Friendly

How To Determine If Your Property Is Infested With Termites

• Small holes found in drywall and/or wood
• Damaged or crumbling timber
• "Mud tubes" appearing on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Obvious termite colonys & mounds in trees near the structure
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying to the colony
