Removing & Managing Termites

Termite treatments alter regarding their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. The two major termite management strategies; trying to eliminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to produce a barrier between the termites and the building to be protected.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

Because the termites do not identify non-repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is limited.

The regularly common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the building by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they were eating. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this fashion, the whole colony may be eliminated even when the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
