Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided, they provide good protection for treated locations. If not all areas can be reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access through them.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to five years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites will also pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, generating a compounding and efficient effect.

Because the termites can’t identify non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress through breaks.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of as many as 8 years after application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a flow on result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is not known.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the dwelling design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.
