Termite Removal/Protection Processes

There are numerous potential treatments for termites, so let us take a look at each briefly.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to five years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after exposure to them. In addition, individual termites can pass these chemicals to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Because termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be erradicated, even when 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.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
