Typically, in Riverwood, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred type management strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some distinct advantages and should be considered.

Repellent Chemicals
Termites find chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites may identify these gaps and can potentially gain access.
The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to five years after application.
Non-Repellent Chemicals
These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.
Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated areas, the potential for termite ingress via untreated gaps is much lower.
The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.
Above Ground Systems are commonly used to eliminate termites in your structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, thus creating a compounding effect.
In this way, the whole termite colony can be erradicated, even if you do not 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 placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a home makes it tricky to have effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
