Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

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

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants can also pass the chemicals to other members of the colony, providing a flow on and efficient result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated places, the chance for termite access through untreated gaps is far lower.

The common used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures 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 whole nest may be eliminated even though the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a home will make it challenging to install effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
