Managing & Removing Termites

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection in treated locations. If not all areas are treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can recognise those gaps and get access via them.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and so they will not steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, termites pass through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual insects transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated places, the chance of termite access via non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

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

In this fashion, the entire nest can be eliminated even when the location of the colony is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

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 detection of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a house makes it hard to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
