Termite Removal/Management Systems

Termite treatments vary with regards to their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify the gaps and gain ingress.

The regularly widely used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants will also transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient effect.

Since termites can’t detect non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the pests to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a compounding effect.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

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