Termite Control/Protection Strategies

Termite treatments alter regarding their aims and application, each with their own limitations, benefits and differences. There are two major termite management strategies; trying to eradicate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments which try to create a barrier in between the termites and the building to be protected.

Chemical remedies are a more traditional strategy to kill termites in Duffys Forest homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to exterminate the colony also has distinct benefits which cannot be ignored.

Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is a commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and so they won’t stay away from the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will go over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual insects pass the chemical onto other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Since the termites can’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain access through possible gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your house by positioning bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they are eating. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Baiting Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
