Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

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

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the potential for termite access via untreated gaps is far lower.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which creates a compounding effect.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the nest is not known. 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.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are typically placed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the residence design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
