Termites! A Sellers Nightmare.
Termites, they are most sellers nightmare, imagine finally getting an offer on your home that you are happy with. And then to have a termite inspection and termite activity is found, no matter how...
This insect has adapted well to living around humans due to our ready made structures that provide protection for the nest and the readily available food and drink, particularly the sweet varieties.
Current Treatment Methods
In recent years, our control methods have solely consisted of applying pesticides directly to a nest to kill off that colony. This control method works well in cases where the nest can be located. But in a vast majority of circumstances we have experienced wasps foraging around schools and daycare centres where children have to be moved inside to play due to the risk of allergic reactions in the event of a sting/bite. Wasps can travel up to a kilometre away from their nest to forage, this makes it exceptionally difficult in some cases to locate and treat their nest directly.
Baiting Trials & Results
New research has been conducted to allow pesticides to be used in a baiting format on wasps. Therefore, in circumstances where the nest cant be located, we have the option of applying a bait to that area. This innovative new baiting method has shown to have a transfer effect to the whole colony and as the timeframe between administering the bait and colony elimination is quite short it is an ideal way to treat for wasps without causing harm to untargeted pests.
The trials have showed that it is very effective at controlling multiple wasp nests at the same time. One of the major considerations when conducting research on the test sites was if non target insects like Bees would be affected. We have been happy to report that over the trials no Bees were captured in the trial sites and the lure used in the process contains an additive that deters Bees from being attracted to it.
