Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided, they provide great protection in treated areas. If not all locations are reached, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and gain access through them once again.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants may also transfer the chemicals on to other members in the colony, creating a compounding and efficient effect.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the potential of termite ingress through untreated gaps is much lower.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the colony which creates a flow on result.

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

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a home makes it difficult to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
