Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

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

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Since the termites can not identify non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress via breaks.

The frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the structure by placing bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they are eating. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

An entire nest may be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a structure can make it difficult to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
