Removing & Managing Termites

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

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise these gaps and gain entry.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

Because the termites do not identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress via breaks.

The most commonly used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of up to eight years following treatment.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to erradicate termites from your residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a flow on effect.

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

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
