Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites can recognise these gaps and could potentially get in.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites will often transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

An entire colony can be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

An In Ground System is used in a similar fashion, but they are usually placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the home may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
