Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or places can’t be treated because of access problems, then white ants may identify those gaps and gain access via them.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot detect non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is significantly less likely.

The common used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating until recently. 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.

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

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a swelling can make it tricky to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
