You will find different kinds of termite situations therefore the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the pros, they are likely to apply one of two general termite protection systems. This may include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

White ant prevention in Yagoona residences traditionally uses a chemical treatment for eliminating the termites, however, baiting and interception to eradicate the termite colonys may have some distinct advantages that cannot be ignored.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided, they provide great protection in treated locations. However, if not all locations can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access via them.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, termites can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non repellent option is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of as many as 8 years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which creates a compounding effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

In-Ground Systems can 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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
