Termite Removal/Management Strategies

There are numerous potential treatments for termites, so let’s look at them quickly.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection for treated areas. If not all locations can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can recognise those gaps and get access through them once again.

The often widely utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will also transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on result.

Since the termites can’t identify non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the structures that they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be exterminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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 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 particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
