In Australia it is quite common for termites to be referred to as ‘white ants’. These are insect pests that can cause extensive damage to structures and properties in Chifley Eastern Suburbs every year, making termite protection so crucial.

Termite Control/Protection Systems

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at each quickly. There’s two main management strategies conducted for termite control: first is the complete eradication of the colony through baiting, and next is with chemical treatment to produce a barrier between the residence and the termites.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants can often pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient effect.

Since the termites don’t identify non repellents, they will not recognise treated and untreated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is restricted.

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the wood that they have been eating previously. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
