There are several kinds of termite infestations and hence the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the pros, they are going to apply one of two general termite management processes. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Generally, in Canterbury, termite experts make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred kind management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some specific benefits and should also be considered.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some places can’t be treated because of access issues, then termites will identify those gaps and gain access through them.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated locations, the possibility of termite ingress through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is frequently used to eliminate termites from your property, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the wood. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

In this way, the colony may be eliminated even when the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are employed in a similar manner, however they are generally installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the design of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against termites
• Not impacted by weather
• Safe for all your family & pets
