Termite Removal/Protection Processes

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated places, the possibility of termite ingress via untreated gaps is lower.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to 8 years following application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a flow on effect.

The entire colony may be eliminated in this way, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, however they’re frequently situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.
