Pest Control & Prevention Against Termites

Termite Removal/Prevention Strategies

There are several treatments possible and each one has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are commonly employed for termite management in Huntleys Cove; either the production of a white ant barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites can recognise these gaps and can sometimes get in.

The regularly frequently utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and so they don’t steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, white ants will pass over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual termites will pass the chemical onto other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Since the termites do not detect non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is reduced.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your house by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they were attacking. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

An entire colony can be eradicated in this way, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a structure will make it hard to create effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
