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

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection for treated areas. However, if not all areas can be reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can recognise the gaps and get access through them.

The often widely applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

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

Because termites do not identify non-repellents, they won’t recognise untreated and treated places, and thus access through possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the home by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been attacking. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a swelling makes it hard to have effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
