Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify these gaps and gain entry.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants will also transfer the chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a compounding result.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
