Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection in treated locations. If not all areas can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access via them once again.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as many as 5 years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Since termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is a lot less likely.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the structures they have been infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
