Termite Control/Protection Strategies

You will find different kinds of termite situations and so the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the specialists, 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 intend to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

In Sandy Point, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate termites. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ benefits that should not be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

The regularly frequently applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from structures 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 termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this manner, the whole colony can be eliminated even though the location of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate area.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a structure will make it hard to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
