Termite Control/Protection Processes

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can detect these gaps and access the home.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants will also transfer the chemicals on to other members of the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites don’t detect non-repellents, they will not recognise untreated and treated places, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most common used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the home by positioning bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they were attacking. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the structure design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
