Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided. So they provide excellent protection for treated locations. If not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can identify those gaps and get access through them.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites can not detect non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is significantly less likely.

The often used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to eight years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the colony which creates a flow on result.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be erradicated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
