The two major termite management strategies; trying to exterminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that try to make a barrier between the termites and the structure being protected.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection for treated areas. If not all locations are treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can identify those gaps and get access via them.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to 5 years and is a commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants can often transfer these chemicals to other members of the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient result.

As termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the home design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Wood is disintegrating or damaged
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or under the floor
• Trees show signs of colonys & mounds
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen swarming from the nest

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Really Do?
