Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided, they provide excellent protection for treated areas. However, if not all locations can be treated, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can recognise those gaps and get access via them.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will transfer these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites can not detect non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber they have been infesting until recently. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

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

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
