Pest Control & Treatment Against Termites

Termites are known in Australia as ‘white ants’. These frequent household pests create untold quantities of damage to houses throughout Canterbury on a yearly basis, creating a large need for termite pest control.

Termite Control & Protection

There are various types of termite situations and so the best treatments also vary. When you call in the specialists, they are likely to apply one of two general termite protection strategies. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Generally, in Canterbury, termite specialists use a chemical treatment as the preferred form management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some distinct benefits and should also be considered.

To make sure the job is done correctly, it is vital to get a reliable termite exterminator in to look at the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide excellent protection in treated locations. If not all areas can be treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can identify those gaps and get access via them.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since the termites do not identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

The most common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be erradicated, even if you do not 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.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are typically placed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Not afflicted with weather

• Colonys or mounds below trees
• Winged termites or alates may be seen swarming from the colony

How Problematic Can Termites Be?
