As a general rule, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for white ant treatment in Kingsgrove. However, there are distinct advantages to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain ingress.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of up to five years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because the termites can’t detect non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent on the market, and features a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is frequently used to erradicate termites from the house, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, thus creating a flow on effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are typically placed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the dwelling design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
