Termite Control/Protection Strategies

When you bring in the professionals, they are likely to apply one of two general termite prevention strategies. This can include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the white ant colony with baiting techniques.

In Port Botany, chemical treatments are the more traditionally applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ advantages that shouldn’t be ignored.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if 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, termites may discover the gaps and gain entry.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore causing a compounding result.

Because termites do not detect non repellents, they will not recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is restricted.

The most applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which produces a compounding result.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in places where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the building design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.

Benefits Of A Termite Baiting System

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe to use around kids and pets
• Environmentally sound

The Indications Of A Termite Infestation

• Minute holes in drywall and timber
• Damaged or crumbling timber
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on wood, floor boards, ceilings, brickwork and/or in underfloor areas
• Nests or mounds in tree areas
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen flying to and from the colony
