Managing & Removing Termites

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at each quickly. There’s two main management strategies performed for termite pest control: one is the complete eradication of the colony through baiting, and the other is with chemical treatment to create a barrier between the home and the colony. Call us today for additional information on the costs involved with various treatment options.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify these gaps and gain ingress.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a flow on result.

Because termites can not detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is considerably less likely.

The often used non repellent option is Fipronil, which features a residual life of as many as 8 years following application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood that they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

How Problematic Are Termites?

For such tiny individuals, a nest of termites (white ants) are capable of doing significant amounts of damage to a house. If the infestation becomes severe enough, the structure may potentially become unsafe.
