Termite Removal/Management Strategies

Termite treatments vary regarding their aims and application, each with their own differences, benefits and limitations.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify the gaps and gain ingress.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so they don’t steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will go through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual termites pass the chemical onto other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

As termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been infesting until recently. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be erradicated, even when 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 used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a structure can make it hard to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
