Managing & Removing Termites

There are different kinds of termite infestations so the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the experts, they will going to apply one of two general termite prevention processes. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Termite protection in Oyster Bay homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, baiting and interception to eradicate the termite colonys may have some distinct benefits that should not be ignored.

It’s important to first get a specialist termite exterminator come out to the property to fully evaluate the damage.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants can recognise the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants can often pass these chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient effect.

Since the termites do not identify non-repellents, they don’t recognise treated and untreated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is restricted.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

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

In this way, the entire nest can be eliminated even though the location of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another place.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a building will make it challenging to install effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
