Removing & Managing Termites

There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its advantages and limitations.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can identify the gaps and once again access the property.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of up to 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may also pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated places, the potential for termite ingress through non-treated gaps is much lower.

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a flow on result.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be erradicated, even if you don’t 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.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly placed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the building design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
