Termite Removal/Prevention Strategies

There are several potential treatments for termites, so let’s take a look at each briefly.

Generally, in Bilgola Plateau, termite experts use a chemical treatment as the preferred form control strategy for killing termites, however, colony eradication through baiting also has some distinct benefits and should also be considered.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, making them ideal 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, white ants may identify these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

In-Ground Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
