Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover these gaps and gain access.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of as many as five years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because the termites do not identify non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the home by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been attacking. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this manner, the whole colony can be eliminated even when the location of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a home makes it hard to install effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
