Typically, in Homebush, termite experts make use of a chemical treatment as the preferred kind control strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has distinct advantages and should be considered.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify the gaps and gain ingress.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

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

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures by placing 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.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this way, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
