Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can detect these gaps and access the home.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will also pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding result.

As termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to 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 rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

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 particularly helpful when the design of a house makes it difficult to create effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
