Termite Control/Prevention Processes

There are different kinds of termite infestations so the preferred treatments also vary. When you call in the experts, they are going to apply one of two general termite prevention processes. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

White ant protection in Kearns residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eradicating the termites, however, interception and baiting to eradicate the termite colonys can have some definate advantages that cannot be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants can identify the gaps and can sometimes get in.

The regularly commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will pass the chemical on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress through breaks.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes 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 termites then return to the colony and 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 observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar way, but they are frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
