Termite Control/Protection Strategies

There are several treatments possible and each has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are commonly employed for termite management in Fairfield; either the creation of a termite barrier between the structure and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting.

Typically, in Fairfield, termite experts make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred form control strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has specific advantages and should also be considered.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide great protection for treated locations. However, if not all locations can be reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can recognise those gaps and get access via them.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to 5 years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since 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 will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

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

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a compounding effect.

In this fashion, the entire colony can be eliminated even though the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another place.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are typically placed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
