Termite Removal & Management

When you bring in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite protection strategies. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Typically, in Rhodes, termite specialists will use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some specific benefits and should also be considered.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor locations can’t be treated due to access problems, then white ants can identify the gaps and gain ingress via them.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after exposure to them. Additionally, termites can transfer these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite ingress through untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the structures they have been infesting until now. 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 the bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are employed in a similar way, but they are generally placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
