There are two main termite management strategies; attempting to eradicate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to produce a barrier between the termites and the structure to be protected.

Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection around treated areas. However, if the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can detect the gaps and access the house.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites can transfer these chemicals to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

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

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the structure by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating. This soon kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be erradicated, even if you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• No danger to kids or pets
