Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they will pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your structure by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been eating. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this fashion, the colony can be eliminated even though the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate area.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are typically installed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the home design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.
