Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and again access the property.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore causing a compounding result.

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

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a building by positioning bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been eating. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be erradicated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 are used in a similar manner, however they’re frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. These systems are useful when the design of the property can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
