Termite Removal & Prevention

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will also transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a compounding result.

Because termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to erradicate termites from your dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

In this fashion, the colony may be eliminated even though the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
