Removing & Managing Termites

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at them quickly.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided, they provide excellent protection in treated locations. If not all areas are treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can identify those gaps and get access via them.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to 5 years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after exposure to them. Additionally, termites can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Since the termites don’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain access via gaps.

The commonly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years after treatment.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the wood that they were eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

An entire colony can be destroyed in this way, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar fashion, but they’re generally installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the building may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
