Managing & Removing Termites

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let us look at each quickly.

In Berala, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to kill termites. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ benefits that should not be dismissed.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can identify these breaks and access the building.

The regularly widely used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Since termites don’t detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is restricted.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a flow on result.

The entire nest may be eliminated in this manner, regardless of if the location of the nest 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 activity.

An In Ground System is used in a similar way, but they are generally situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. These systems are useful when the design of the home may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
