Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These 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 completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can detect the breaks and once again access the home.

The often commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they go over the chemical and die after 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 effect.

As termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which 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.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in positions where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
