Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection in treated areas. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can identify those gaps and get access through them.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants can also transfer the chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated places, the chance for termite ingress through untreated gaps is far lower.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in positions where there is 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 detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a house can make it difficult to create adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
