Termite Removal/Protection Systems

There are several treatments possible and each one has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are typically employed for termite management in Chiswick; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide great protection for treated areas. If not all areas can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and get access through them.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures they have been eating 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 feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be eliminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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 can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
