Termite Removal/Prevention Strategies

There are a number of treatments possible and each has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are generally employed for termite management in The Spit; either the production of a white ant barrier between the residence and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony through baiting.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain entry.

The often commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and so they don’t steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, termites go over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual insects will pass the chemical onto other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because the termites can not identify non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain access through gaps.

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to get rid of termites in your property, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding result.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in positions where there is termite activity.

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 particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
