Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they won’t avoid the treated areas. Because of this, termites will pass over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual termites will transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites can’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access via gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your dwelling by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they are attacking. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this manner, the whole nest can be eliminated even though the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a building will make it hard to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
