Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify the gaps and gain access.

The often commonly applied chemical 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 do not 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 to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because the termites do not identify non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain access through possible gaps.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as eight years after treatment.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the structures they were eating 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 feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole nest can be eliminated even though the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a swelling can make it tricky to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
