This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Typically, in Edgecliff, termite experts will make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred type removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has distinct advantages and should be considered.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can also pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Because the termites do not detect non-repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent on the market, and features a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the wood that they were eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony 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 used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a house can make it difficult to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for children and pets
• Eco-friendly
