Termite Removal

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at each briefly. There’s two main strategies performed for termite control: one is the total eradication of the colony through baiting, and second is with chemical treatment to make a barrier between the home and the colony.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or places cannot be treated because of access problems, then white ants will detect the gaps and attain access through them.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since termites don’t identify non repellents, they will not recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

The most commonly used non-repellent option is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to 8 years after treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a house by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they were attacking. This kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this way, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a home will make it challenging to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
