Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor locations cannot be treated because of access problems, the white ants will detect the gaps and gain access via those areas.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will also pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated locations, the possibility of termite ingress via non-treated gaps is much lower.

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual life span of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is frequently used to eliminate termites in the home, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, thus causing a compounding result.

An entire nest may be eradicated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
