Control & Prevention Against Termites

across the country it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Alexandria every year, making termite control so essential.

Termite Removal

Termite treatments vary with regards to their aims and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two main termite management strategies; trying to exterminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that try to create a barrier in between the termites and the structure to be protected.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor some areas can’t be treated as a result of access issues, the termites can detect the gaps and attain ingress via them.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they don’t steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will go through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects will transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because the termites do not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to erradicate termites from the structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, thus causing a compounding effect.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
