Managing & Removing Termites

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at each briefly. There are two main strategies carried out for termite pest control: one is the complete eradication of the colony with baiting, and the other is with chemical treatments to create a barrier between the house and the termites. Contact us today to find out more on the costs involved with various treatment options.

Typically, in Camperdown, termite experts will use a chemical treatment as the preferred form removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some distinct advantages and should also be considered.

To ensure the job is carried out right, it’s vital to have a reliable termite exterminator in to review the situation.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants will identify the gaps and could potentially get in.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not detect non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain access through breaks.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be eliminated, 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 way, they are typically installed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the building design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
