Removing & Managing Termites

There are several kinds of termite situations and hence the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the experts, they are likely to apply one of two general termite removal systems. This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Typically, in Darlinghurst, termite experts will make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred form control strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has specific benefits and should also be considered.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can detect these breaks and once again access the home.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated places, the potential for termite access through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

In-Ground Systems can 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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
