This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the eradication of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

In Penrith, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ benefits that shouldn’t be ignored.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor some areas can not be treated as a result of access issues, the termites will identify the breaks and attain access via those areas.

The regularly frequently utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the structures they have been eating previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

In this fashion, the entire nest can be eliminated even though the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly installed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the residence design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.

Baiting System Advantages
