Treatment & Protection Against Termites

across the country it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in Lewisham every year, making termite treatment so crucial.

Termite Control/Protection Systems

Two main strategies are commonly utilised for termite management in Lewisham; either the production of a white ant barrier between the house and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

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

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

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

The often common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to get rid of termites from the home, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, thus causing a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be eliminated, even if 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 Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a home will make it hard to create effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Flexible protection system
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for youngsters and pets
• Ecologically smart
