Typically, in Punchbowl, termite specialists use a chemical treatment as the preferred type management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some specific benefits and should be considered.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor places can’t be treated because of access issues, then termites can detect those gaps and gain ingress through those areas.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites can also transfer the chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Because the termites don’t detect non repellents, they do not recognise treated and untreated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is limited.

The regularly common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire colony can be exterminated in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

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 especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Flexible protection against termites
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• No danger for kids & pets
• Eco-friendly
