Termite Removal/Management Systems

Termite treatments vary regarding their aims and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. The two main termite management strategies; attempting to eradicate the termite colony with baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to produce a barrier in between the termites and the building being protected.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is 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 can recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

The often widely applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because the termites do not identify non repellents, they will not recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is reduced.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to erradicate termites in the structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the wood. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on effect.

In this way, the entire colony can be eliminated even when the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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