Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants can recognise these gaps and could sometimes get in.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Since termites cannot identify non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is a lot reduced.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a flow on effect.

In this way, the entire nest can be eliminated even though the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate place.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
