Generally, in Smithfield, termite experts will make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred form control strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some distinct benefits and should also be considered.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or places can not be treated as a result of access difficulties, then termites can identify those gaps and attain ingress through them.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

Because the termites don’t identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain access via gaps.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to eliminate termites from the dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
