Typically, in Freshwater, termite experts will use a chemical treatment as the preferred type control strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has some distinct advantages and should also be considered.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some places can not be treated as a result of access issues, the termites may detect those gaps and attain ingress via those areas.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is much less likely.

A widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

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

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in cases 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 so they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a building makes it tricky to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
