Termite Control & Protection

Typically, chemical methods are the most commonly used management strategy for white ant treatment in Point Piper. However, there are several benefits to interception and baiting that should be considered as well.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they will pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated areas, the potential of termite ingress through non-treated gaps is lower.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent on the market, and features a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your building by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they were attacking. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar way, however they’re usually installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
