Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

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

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they do not avoid the chemical. As a result of this, white ants pass over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual insects will pass the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The regularly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the structures they were infesting until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a house can make it hard to have effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
