Termite Removal/Management Strategies

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can sense these gaps and again access the house.

The most widely used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since the termites can not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the structure by positioning bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they are eating. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a swelling makes it difficult to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
