There are several types of termite situations and so the best treatments also vary. When you bring in the pros, they are going to apply one of two general termite management systems. 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 termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical treatments are the more standard treatment to eliminate white ants in Gore Hill homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has some distinct benefits that should not be ignored.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can identify the breaks and again access the home.

The most widely utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they do not steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, termites will go through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites will transfer the chemical onto other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be erradicated, even if you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 Baiting Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
