Removing & Managing Termites

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection around treated locations. However, if the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can sense these breaks and once again access the house.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is the most widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus die after exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will transfer these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because the termites don’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which creates a compounding effect.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar manner, but they are frequently installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the building may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
