Removing & Managing Termites

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let us take a look at each briefly.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify these gaps and gain ingress.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

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

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the timber they have been infesting up to now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

The entire nest can be eradicated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
