Termite Removal/Protection Strategies

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection in treated areas. If not all areas are reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access through them.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to erradicate termites from your house, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole colony may be eliminated even when the position of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another area.

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