Termite Removal

There are various kinds of termite situations so the best treatments also vary. When you call in the pros, they are likely to apply one of two general termite protection strategies. This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Generally, in Richmond, termite specialists will use a chemical treatment as the preferred type removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has distinct benefits and should be considered.

It is wise to first get a professional white ant exterminator come out to the home to fully assess the damage.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain entry.

The regularly commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated places, the chance of termite ingress via non-treated gaps is much lower.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the house design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
