Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants can recognise these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by 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 on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Since the termites don’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses 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 entire termite colony will be eliminated, even when you don’t 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.

An In Ground System is used in a similar manner, but they are generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the property can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.
