This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you intend to protect. Or perhaps, the extermination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Generally, in Homebush, termite specialists will use a chemical treatment as the preferred method removal strategy for killing termites, however, colony elimination through baiting also has distinct advantages and should also be considered.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to five years and is the most widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they move over 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 generating a compounding effect.

Because the termites can not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

The most often used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of as many as eight years after application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is regularly used to eliminate termites in your dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

In this fashion, the colony can be eliminated even when the location of the colony is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a structure makes it difficult to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
