Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection on treated places. However, if the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can sense these gaps and access the property.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they will not stay away from the chemical. As a result of this, termites will pass through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

As termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The commonly used non repellent option is Fipronilthat has a residual life of as many as eight years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

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

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are typically placed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the home design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
