Termite Removal

Termite treatments change with regards to their goals and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are 2 major termite management strategies; trying to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to produce a barrier between the termites and the structure to be protected.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover these gaps and gain ingress.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they will go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because the termites don’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to eliminate termites in the home, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, creating a flow on result.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar way, however they are usually situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
