Termite Removal

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are typically employed for termite management in Concord; either the creation of a termite barrier between the residence and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting.

In Concord, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ advantages that should not be ignored.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided. So they provide excellent protection for treated locations. However, if not all areas can be treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access through them once again.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of as many as five years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated places, the possibility for termite ingress via untreated gaps is lower.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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 consume a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be eliminated, even when 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 used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a swelling makes it challenging to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
