Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites since 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 can discover the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Because termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

A widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning 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 termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the colony can be eliminated even when the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate place.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they’re frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.
