Termite Protection & Extermination

Termite Control & Protection

Call us today for additional information on the costs associated with various treatment options.

Typically, in Emerton, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred kind removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has distinct benefits and should be considered.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection on treated areas. However, if the treated places are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can sense the breaks and access the property.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after contact with them. Additionally, termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Since termites can’t detect non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is a lot less likely.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the structures that they have been eating until recently. 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 the bait to other colony members.

The entire colony can be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar fashion, however they’re usually situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are useful when the design of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems
