Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided, they provide good protection for treated areas. However, if not all locations can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and get access via them.

The often frequently utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites will often pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated locations, the possibility for termite ingress via non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The regularly common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the white ants to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the nest which creates a compounding result.

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 nest can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

In-Ground Systems may 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 essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
