Termite Protection & Treatment

Managing & Removing Termites

There are several treatments possible and each has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are typically utilised for termite management in Canterbury; either the creation of a termite barrier between the residence and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting.

Typically, in Canterbury, termite experts make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred kind management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has distinct advantages and should also be considered.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection for treated areas. However, if not all locations are reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access through them once again.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after exposure to them. In addition, termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Because termites do not identify non-repellents, they don’t recognise treated and untreated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is restricted.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a house by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they are attacking. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

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

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are typically placed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the residence design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Baiting System Benefits

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Unaffected by weather
• Safe for the kids and pets
• Ecologically sound

Can Termites Really Damage My Home?
