Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

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

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they will go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the chance for termite access through non-treated gaps is much lower.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be exterminated, even when you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
