Termite Removal

There are various kinds of termite situations therefore the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the specialists, they will going to apply one of two general termite management strategies. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you hope to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Termite control in Botany homes traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, baiting and interception to eradicate the termite colonys can have some distinct benefits that cannot be ignored.

It is wise to first have a specialist termite exterminator visit the building to fully evaluate the situation.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can sense the gaps and once again access the home.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated locations, the potential of termite ingress through non-treated gaps is lower.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

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

An entire colony can be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
