When you call in the professionals, they will likely to apply one of two general termite removal processes. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Generally, in Engadine, termite specialists use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some specific advantages and should be considered.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when 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 access.

The most frequently used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and they don’t steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will move over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual insects transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated areas, the potential of termite access through untreated gaps is lower.

The most used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a residence by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been attacking. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

The entire colony can be destroyed in this way, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

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