Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain entry.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so they will not steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, white ants pass over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual termites will transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a flow on result.

In this way, the nest can be eliminated even when the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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