Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These common household pests create huge amounts of damage to houses across Enfield Inner West every year, creating a large requirement for termite control.

Termite Removal

Termite treatments change regarding their goals and application, each with their own benefits, differences and limitations. There are two major termite management strategies; trying to eliminate the termite colony through baiting, and chemical treatments that aim to make a barrier between the termites and the building to be protected.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or areas cannot be treated because of access difficulties, the termites can identify the gaps and attain ingress through them.

The often widely applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore causing a compounding effect.

Because the termites do not detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access via possible breaks.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be erradicated, even when you don’t 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.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly situated around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the structure design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
