Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites will identify the gaps and can sometimes get in.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to five years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus die after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because the termites don’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which creates a compounding effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the house design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
