In Australia it is quite common for termites to be called ‘white ants’. These are insect pests which can cause extensive damage to structures and houses in Bardwell Valley St George annually, making termite inspection so vital.

Termite Removal/Management Strategies

Termite treatments alter in terms of their goals and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations. There are 2 main termite management strategies; trying to eliminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that try to produce a barrier between the termites and the structure being protected.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor locations can not be treated because of access problems, then termites will identify the gaps and attain access via those areas.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites don’t identify non repellents, they won’t recognise untreated and treated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The frequently used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of as many as 8 years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a residence by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been attacking. This soon kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole termite colony will 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 Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
