Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants will recognise these gaps and could potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after exposure to them. In addition, termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is often used to get rid of termites in the house, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, thus creating a flow on effect.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be exterminated, even though you don’t 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.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar fashion, however they’re frequently situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
