Managing & Removing Termites

You will find different types of termite infestations so the best treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite removal processes. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Generally, in Dural, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred type management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some distinct advantages and should be considered.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor areas cannot be treated as a result of access difficulties, the termites can identify the breaks and gain ingress through those areas.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

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

Because termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the pests to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be exterminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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 Baiting Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of A Termite Baiting System

• Flexible protection system
• Unimpacted by weather
• No danger for children & pets
• An environmentally smart solution

• ‘Mud Tubes’ on timber, floor boards, ceilings, brickwork and/or in subfloor areas
• Termite nests & mounds in trees close to the home
• Winged termites (or alates) may be noticed swarming from the nest

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?
