Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants may recognise the gaps and can potentially get in.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is a commonly used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after contact with them. In addition, termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

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

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the wood they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

An entire nest can be eradicated in this manner, regardless of if the position of the colony 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 termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed 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 home makes it tricky to have adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
