Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided, they provide great protection in treated locations. If not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can identify the gaps and gain access through them.

The regularly frequently utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites will also transfer these chemicals on to other members in the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

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

The common used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the dwelling by placing bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been eating. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems can 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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
