Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

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

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

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

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent on the market, and features a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are often used to get rid of termites from your structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding effect.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a house can make it challenging to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
