Termite Removal/Protection Strategies

There are several treatments possible and each has its advantages and limitations. Two main strategies are generally utilised for termite management in Ropes Crossing; either the production of a termite barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting.

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided, they provide good protection in treated areas. However, if not all locations are reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can recognise those gaps and gain access through them once again.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated locations, the chance for termite access through untreated gaps is far lower.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood that they have been eating until recently. 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 other colony members.

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

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a building will make it challenging to have effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
