Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and gain entry.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites will also pass these chemicals on to other members in the colony, providing a flow on and efficient result.

Since the termites can not detect non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain access through breaks.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the structures they were infesting up to now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this way, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the home design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
