This could include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you want to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

In Hornsby, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to kill white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ own advantages that should not be ignored.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated places are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can detect the breaks and access the house.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and they do not steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, white ants go through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a compounding result.

Since the termites do not identify non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings 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 feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire nest can be eradicated in this way, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly situated around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the structure design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for use around children and pets
• Green
