across the country it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and homes in Miranda Sutherland each year, making termite protection so important.

Termite Removal/Management Processes

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are typically used for termite management in Miranda; either the creation of a termite barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony with baiting.

Generally, in Miranda, termite specialists make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred type management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some specific advantages and should also be considered.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

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

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and they don’t steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, termites will go over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual insects pass the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a compounding result.

Since termites can’t detect non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The frequently used non repellent option is Fipronilthat features a residual life of as many as 8 years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the pests to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a compounding effect.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be erradicated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a structure will make it tricky to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
