Termite Removal/Prevention Systems

There are several treatments possible and each has its benefits and limitations. Two main strategies are generally used for termite management in Botany; either the creation of a white ant barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting.

Generally, in Botany, termite specialists use a chemical treatment as the preferred type management strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has distinct benefits and should be considered.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some locations cannot be treated because of access issues, the white ants will detect the breaks and gain access via those areas.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites don’t identify non-repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated places, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

The most applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which produces a compounding effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a house will make it difficult to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not afflicted with weather
• Safe for children and pets
• Eco-friendly
