Treatment & Control Against Termites

Termites are known throughout Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create untold levels of damage to properties throughout Canterbury each year, creating a large need for termite treatment.

Managing & Removing Termites

There are several treatments possible and each one has its benefits and draw backs. Two main strategies are commonly utilised for termite management in Canterbury; either the production of a termite barrier between the building and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting. Contact us today for more info on the cost for termite treatment and management.

Chemical remedies are the more traditional treatment to kill termites in Canterbury homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has distinct benefits which should not be ignored.

It is crucial to have the white ant situation examined by a professional bug exterminator to look at the damage and suggest a suitable management plan.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can sense these gaps and access the home.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Since termites can not identify non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to erradicate termites from your residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, creating a compounding effect.

In this fashion, the whole nest may be eliminated even when the location of the colony is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

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 especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Not afflicted with weather
• No danger to children & pets
