There are two strategies utilised are creating a termite barrier using specialised chemical treatments, and eradicating the termite colony entirely by baiting.

In Manly, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, baiting and interception for colony eradication has its’ advantages that shouldn’t be ignored.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they will not avoid the chemical. Because of this, white ants go through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Since termites do not identify non-repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the wood that they were infesting until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole colony may be eliminated even though the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate area.

In-Ground Systems can 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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
