Termite Treatment & Removal

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge levels of damage to houses throughout Canterbury each year, creating a large requirement for termite treatment.

Termite Control/Prevention Systems

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are generally employed for termite management in Canterbury; either the production of a termite barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting. Call us today for more info about the cost for termite treatment and management.

White ant treatment in Canterbury residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, baiting and interception to eradicate the termite colonys may bring some distinct benefits that cannot be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites can recognise the gaps and can sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and they won’t steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, termites go through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. 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 the difference between treated and untreated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

The most common used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your structure by placing bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they are attacking. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this way, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a home makes it tricky to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Not influenced by weather conditions
• Safe for children and pets
• An environmentally smart solution
