Managing & Removing Termites

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise the gaps and gain access.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and so they don’t avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will pass through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual termites pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since termites can not detect non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The often used non-repellent option is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to eight years after treatment.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber that they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

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

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are typically installed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the dwelling design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not influenced by weather conditions
• Safe to use around children and pets
