Termite Control/Protection Strategies

Termite treatments change in terms of their goals and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are 2 main termite management strategies; trying to exterminate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which aim to make a barrier between the termites and the building to be protected.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants can recognise these gaps and can sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is the most widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and they do not avoid the chemical. As a result of this, termites pass through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual insects transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites can’t identify non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the structures that they have been eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be exterminated, 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 Baiting Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
