Termite Removal/Prevention Systems

You will find various kinds of termite infestations and so the preferred treatments also vary. When you bring in the pros, they will going to apply one of two general termite removal systems. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical treatments are a more traditional treatment to eliminate termites in Yarramundi homes. However, intercepting and baiting to eliminate the colony also has distinct benefits which should not be ignored.

It’s important to first have a specialist termite exterminator come out to the house to evaluate the damage.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise these gaps and gain entry.

The often widely applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus die after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to erradicate termites in the home, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a compounding result.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a building will make it challenging to install effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
