There are a number of treatments possible and each has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are generally utilised for termite management in Telopea; either the production of a white ant barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify these gaps and gain entry.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated locations, the potential for termite ingress via non-treated gaps is much lower.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the structures they were infesting until recently. 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.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

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 especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Advantages

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Not affected by weather
• No danger to kids & pets
• Eco-friendly

Signs That You May Have Termites

General signs that your dwelling is infested with termites:

• Small holes bored in timber panels
• Timber is decaying or damaged
• "Mud tubes" appear on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Mounds or colonys can be found in nearby trees
• Winged termites or alates may be noticed leaving the nest

Can Termites Really Damage My Home?
