Termite Removal/Management Processes

Termite treatments change with regards to their aims and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can detect the gaps and once again access the building.

The regularly commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites can’t detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is much reduced.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is commonly used to erradicate termites from your property, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a flow on result.

The entire nest may be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, 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 intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not influenced by weather conditions
• No danger for the kids & pets
• An environmentally smart solution
