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

Generally, in Sun Valley, termite specialists will make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred form removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some distinct benefits and should also be considered.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided, so they provide excellent protection in treated locations. If not all areas are reached, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access via them once again.

The most widely utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites don’t detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the timber that they were infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

The entire nest can be destroyed in this manner, 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 white ant activity.

In-Ground Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
