Termite Removal/Protection Processes

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let us have alook at each briefly.

Call us today for additional information on the costs involved with various treatment options.

In Kogarah, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ benefits that should not be ignored.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection on treated places. However, if the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can sense the gaps and once again access the property.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of up to five years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they will go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated places, the chance of termite access via non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is commonly used to erradicate termites in your dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be exterminated, even if you do not 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 generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
