Managing & Removing Termites

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let us look at them briefly.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites can recognise these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites cannot detect non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the wood that they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

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

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 vital 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

• Unaffected by weather conditions
• No danger for children & pets
