Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a gap in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover these gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as 5 years and is a widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a compounding result.

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

The often common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a residence by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been attacking. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be exterminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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.

In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, but they’re generally situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the design of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
