Effective Treatment for Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites will identify the gaps and can sometimes get in.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to five years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus resulting in a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated places, the potential for termite access via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the wood that they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be eliminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

An In-Ground System is utilised in a similar fashion, but they are generally placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
