Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants will identify these gaps and can potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since termites don’t detect non repellents, they won’t recognise treated and untreated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is frequently used to erradicate termites in the home, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be erradicated, even though you do not 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.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically situated throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the structure design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
