Termite Control/Protection Strategies

There are numerous potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at them briefly.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection for treated areas. If not all locations are treated, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and get access via them once again.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

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

Given termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the chance of termite ingress through non-treated gaps is lower.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of up to 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 on the bait matrix rather than the timber that they were eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be eliminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
