Termite Control/Prevention Processes
There are several treatments possible and each has its advantages and draw backs. Two main strategies are typically utilised for termite management in Balgowlah; either the production of a termite barrier between the home and the termites, or eradication of the termite colony via baiting.

Repellent Chemicals
Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites may recognise these gaps and can potentially gain access.
The most widely used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.
Non Repelling Chemicals
Non-repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and so they do not avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants pass through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a flow on effect.
As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.
The common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.
Used to exterminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the wood that they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.
An entire nest can be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.
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.
