Managing & Removing Termites

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at them quickly.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites may identify the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The regularly frequently utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a compounding effect.

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

The most used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which creates a flow on result.

In this manner, the colony can be eliminated even though the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

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 especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
